My name is Harley and I’m an artist. I’ve realized this is what makes me happy, everything else is soul sucking. I want to master my craft. Guess what though? In order to have 30+ hours a week to do that, I need to make some money on it.
That’s where this blog comes in. I’ve read at least a couple books about making a living as an artist. My favorite one recommends starting a blog, Instagram, Facebook page, etc. So that’s where we are.
I will do my best to post at the end of each day I spend making art!
It’s good too, because I spend A LOT of time on each piece so it’s great to have somewhere I can show what I’m doing.
I like to start at my apartment working on small acrylic paintings as I get around. Then I move to my studio.
I like to work on multiple paintings at a time because oils take so long to dry. I give it that depth by painting in layers, letting each one dry before I start another. Each layer takes a couple days to dry though. Hence: multiple paintings.
Thanks for reading!
