Notes from Chris

Episode 2360
Joining us from Santa Fe, New Mexico, we have Rosa, a talented watercolor artist. She's setting herself a challenge to paint and publish a new piece of artwork every day for an entire year!

As Rosa dives into this project, she's not just looking to deepen her artistic practice, but also keen to explore how she might monetize this venture. Rosa, I admire your ambition and your commitment to your craft. This question of monetization is indeed a key one for artists. Let's look at some strategies that could help her.

"Hello, my name is Rosa and I'm reaching out from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I'm a long-time artist specializing in watercolor paintings, inspired by the breathtaking landscapes around me. I've been toying with the idea of challenging myself to create and publish a new painting every day for a year as a way to deepen my practice. Recently, I've set myself a challenge: to create and publish a new painting every single day for an entire year.

It's an exciting prospect, and I'm eager to share my artistic journey with others. However, as enthused as I am about this project, I can't help but wonder how I could turn this venture into a profitable business. My primary concern is figuring out the best strategies to monetize these daily paintings. How can I make a sustainable income from this project? Your advice would be invaluable to me!."
