This is maybe the most important post till now. This post is going to help us all grow! 🔥 Let’s share all our knowledge. Sinds we are so much stronger together. We are now with 169 messy artists. What is incredibly! So let’s fire it up! And take over the art world 😂🙌🥳🔥 I go first 🥰 and than it’s your turn to start sharing and help your fellow artists friends grow and make a living of there art. No gate keeping 😉🥳💚 ————————————————- What I do to sell my art. 🎨 This is probably not the only or the very best way. But far I am really happy with my set up so far 🥰 ✅ Free Carrd site where I sell my originals + Linktree (does the job perfectly) My Carrd sites for an example, other example of my other business . HTTP://www.Sarlathideaway.carrd.co My link tree an example ✅ Ko-fi for gifs, commission and it has a shop! no crazy fees, 100% free! This is my link if you want to take a look https://ko-fi.com/responsiblymessyart ✅ set up a Stripe or PayPal account to collect money. PayPal cost (?) Stripes fees (around 5,5% ) ✅ I sell prints at Printumo. I have there my own shop in Printumo. They print & ship for you. Link here, check it out, and you are free to buy a print 😉❤️https://printumo.com/shop/messyart I make a photo of my artwork with my iPhone (16 pro) and upload it in Printumo as a TIFF file. ✅ Fair 50/50 galleries only (the ones that actually help you grow) I do not pay galeries. And only go 50/50 for galleries that really help me as an artist. I make my work 50 procent more expensive when it is in a gallery, so in the end it cost me 0. The work on my own site (other work, not the same as in the gallery)

(Please put the paintings you make in 30 brush strokes under this post. ❤️) Ready to loosen up, paint more confidently, and stop overthinking every brushstroke? Welcome to the 30 Brush Strokes Challenge! For the next 30 days, you’ll create small paintings using no more than 30 brush strokes. That’s it. No perfect paintings. No endless tweaking. No pressure. Just 30 intentional marks. Why this challenge? Many artists improve by painting more. But you’ll often improve even faster by painting with limitations. When you only have 30 brush strokes, you can’t overwork your painting. You learn to: - paint with confidence instead of hesitation - simplify what you see - make stronger decisions - let go of perfectionism - trust your instincts - finish what you start You’ll probably be surprised by how much your paintings improve after just a few weeks. The rules 🖌️ Maximum 30 brush strokes per painting. 📏 Keep it small (A6, A5, postcard size… whatever feels easy.) ⏱️ Spend around 5–15 minutes on each painting. 🎨 Use any medium you like. 📸 Share your paintings in the group whenever you’d like. Need ideas? Paint whatever inspires you! For example: - fruit - flowers - birds - pets - landscapes - your morning coffee - your favorite mug - vegetables - mushrooms - trees - people - houses - clouds - seashells - a toy - your paint brushes - something from your garden - something completely from your imagination Missed a day? No worries. This isn’t about having a perfect streak. Life happens. Skip a day if you need to, then simply continue the next day. Progress is built over time—not by being perfect. One more thing… This is not a competition. There are no winners. No prizes. No judging. The only person you’re challenging is yourself. At the end of the month, you’ll have a collection of small paintings that show your growth—and that’s the real reward. Who’s joining? 🎉 For inspiration a link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaQo8uaRsYW/

I think palettes / workspaces are so colorful and messy… sometimes just looking at my palette gets me motivated. So… what does your palette look like? Messy? Clean?

We are camping and I didn't bring paints. So I bought some inexpensive paint at walmart, and cut up cardboard to paint on. Here is to Day one of painting on cardboard.
