how i make $$$ with commissioned artwork! // Artist Vlog

🌻Hey there!🌻

I'm Shania, and I upload a new video EVERY SUNDAY AT 12 PM. My videos revolve around the universally beloved theme of ART! I'm thrilled to have you here, and I hope you have a lot of fun!


🎬🧡🎬🧡🎬🧡To the Video🎬🧡🎬🧡🎬🧡

I live from my art and painting. Among other things, I sell commissions to customers who would like a picture of me at home - according to their taste.

In this video I show you how I make the commissioned paintings and explain a few details to you, for example how the price is calculated, how I find customers and how I generally proceed step by step.

🤗💚🤗💚FAQ🤗💚🤗💚


💚 Since when do I paint/draw?


I never quite know how to answer this question. In essence, I've always drawn! I've been actively drawing on and off, with phases (some lasting several years) where I didn't even pick up a pencil. However, I've been drawing and painting daily again since the end of 2019.


💚 Can I copy your art?


No – but you can use it as inspiration! (Ps. I'd also appreciate it if you tagged me if you share your artwork.)


💚 Do you have a PO box?


Not currently. I'll come up with something eventually!


💚 Can the original paintings be purchased as prints?


All originals for sale can be found here: https://www.shaniabo.art/originals


💚 Do you take commissions?


Not at the moment, as I'm quite busy with the YouTube channel.
