There are so many people who have a lot to say on how to succeed as an artist. I can pretty much sum it all up in this- the more you do, the more likely you are to succeed. But why do some people grasp success while others don't for unequal effort? So I'm going to tell you what not to do, instead of what to do. So you can avoid failure. 

I think why you and I are here together is that we seek the same thing, to reach people, offer value to people and be successful at it. With the same goal in mind, I can tell you right now that there are other people out there that have more experience doing this than me. Yet, I feel that we all are on a journey and while we are on it, we learn, and what we learn we can share. 

Do you ever feel like you are sinking or swimming against a current when all you want to do is share your work? This is how I felt for a long time, until I got focused and made a plan. If you don't know in which direction you should be swimming, you'll keep floundering and you just may drowned in your business. No one likes to fail right? If you don't have a plan, your plan is to fail- Ben Franklin. 

Learn about brush strokes and blending while we paint a desert scene in Nevada. The desert can be such a beautiful place. Just outside of Las Vegas there is this gorgeous state park called Valley of Fire. The red and orange rocks are a sight to behold, and with the turquoise and sage colored plants and sky...I was in awe. Learn how I captured this scene. ​
