Sharing my experience with meeting new people in person and how they react to finding out that I am a self employed artist.

How I became a self employed full time artist, my story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGFR-Fi2uhw&t=612s

I am an artist residing in sunny, warm [humid] florida! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

Come travel with me to NYC and Asheville! I went to The Met where I saw Van Gogh and Monet paintings and sketched sculptures. The Museum of Natural history, 9/11 memorial, beautiful city views, finished off with a cabin in the mountains in Asheville, NC.

I decided to try drawing with colored pencils, and I completed my first drawings! I share my process with the Polychromos colored pencils from Faber Castell, as well as how I blended them. I was never a fan of colored pencils and I have never completed a drawing until now, so I hope you enjoy my drawing process, thanks for watching!

Check out Lisa from Lachri Fine Art for AMAZING colored pencil tutorials, tips, drawing, (and painting) demonstrations:
