Hungry Starving Artist Needs Work 

Use Your Artistic Talent or NoTalent to Make Money

Are you looking at an empty wallet and a ton of completed art that isn't selling? Why do you continue to torture yourself and just go get a "real" job?

I bet I know why... you don't want to give up on the dream of being a professional artist do you? You do know that the word professional means you make a profit in your business... don't you?

How about taking some of those talents and starting a faux painting or mural business? A wall is just a really big canvas you know? It's pretty easy to take the experience you have and turn it into cash paying jobs. Wouldn't you like to eat?

And... You don't really need to be an artist to have a painting business. You would be surprised how easy it is to learn to paint simple to learn murals and faux finishes and make money with very little artistic talent.

You Can Never Have Enought Inspiration 

The Key To Being a Success in Business is Never Stop Learning

Never stop learning. Focus on one type of finish or style of mural at a time. Maybe you could get really good at painting sky and cloud murals on ceilings.
Have patience. Get good at it. Make samples to show to prospective clients and you should start to see a little more cash in your wallet.

About thatpainterlady

Hi... It's Debra Conrad THAT Painter Lady

Sponges, brushes, rags, buckets of paint and step ladders are my "wardrobe"
accessories. There are times when I have some rather strange colored
highlights in my hair, and my hair stylist isn't at fault.  I'd rather
wear comfortable casual clothes than corporate suits any day.  So that's what I do
