Thanks again for an excellent video Dries! I've quit my day job, I'm ready to go all in with my art!

[@driesketels]

You got this! I wish you the best Jane... let's hope it's going to be hard but worth it for you! Let's go Jane.

Hey! I hope you are doing well. Keep going mate. Wish you the best.💫

[@inessagarder4452]

Amazing. Such valuable information. I like your sense of humour. It is hard to approach this art career thing without a good deal of a sense of humour ))))

Hello Dries! Well! That was full of magic, wasn’t it! Thank you for all that info! I will now share with you, the frustrations of my day….. 1) my husband of 43 years ‘borrowed’ my little saw from my art studio - so I almost ground to a halt! 2) I finally found my pots of gesso - & the lids were stuck - I couldn’t twist them off, which means I’ve got to ask my beloved to help me! 3) I discovered that my work benches were no longer level so I had to clear them off & try & stuff folded card under the relevant legs. All this could be received as a Devine message from the gods to go & knit squares instead! Since I have a defiance oppositional disorder I won’t be knitting little squares because my purpose in life is to enable myself to be joyous in all activities & I love creating jolly little pieces of art - full of happy colours & movement. I’m learning fluid art - paint pouring - totally abstract & my favourite of all the styles is Dutch Pour; my niche! There are lots of artists on you tube demonstrating this, Rinske Douna from Netherlands, Kanella Ciracco from Canada, Fiona from Slovenia - all much better than me, but inspirational in their love for their art. As a retired old woman, all I want is to continue to be happy & make messes in my art room! Should someone get really excited & want to buy something I’ve made, or ask me to make something for them, I will happily do my best; pricing based on your earlier guidance! Now, I’ve got to ask - tell me about your painting on your easel behind you. Looks like a McDonalds cheeseburger with no cheese or salad, drowning in blue waters - I love it! Bless you, honey! You’re such fun to listen to because everything makes so much sense! Love & hugs from Wiltshire UK xx 💋

Looks like a McDonalds cheeseburger with no cheese or salad, dronwing in blue waters... hahah, that's some hell of a description. Love it. There's too much I could say about this piece. I'll hope to make some videos about my art in the future. In the meantime there is some explanation on Instagram of this particular piece if I'm not mistaken. About your day, sounds like a standard day in the office, full of problems that need to be solved, thats how it goes.

Yes I am, Cheers Kevin... Hope to see you somewhere in some exhibition in Belgium then.

You are hilarious! And so helpful. Love your videos :)

You are way too kind. I'm definitely not hilarious

[@tipsygreen-2780]

Hey Dries, brilliant as usual, really good info. I was in a travelling exhibition in Belgium in 90s but can’t remember name of gallery. Thank you :-)

[@driesketels]

That's nice to hear.

[@inquisitivemind8672]

Interesting points; thanks👍🏾

[@driesketels]

Thanks for watching! How is it going your KZbin journey?

[@inquisitivemind8672]

@@driesketels it's a desert 😳 but I'm ok....I didn't expect more than a desert 😂 ...thank God I have water elsewhere and my sales are anonymous and separate from that journey because King Midas has failed to make his appearance.... Idk what I'll do with that....Im not big on putting my energy where it feels lost. I haven't reduced myself to a talking cleavage yet.... so I'd say Im doing pretty well....I think😅👊🏾🙏🏽 In regular language...this shit is for the birds.....

[@driesketels]

Have you tried 'daily ideas' from VidIq... I'm now testing it out and it seems to be doing pretty well so far... it's an AI that generates topics in line with your channel that have high viewership predictions... you might want to take a look at it.

[@inquisitivemind8672]

@@driesketels 😳😅 no I haven't tried that. I don't think I'm that invested that I want an idea generator....I guess it works well with people that use prompts to facilitate ideas...and merges that with whatever is "hot" right now....

[@CanvasAndCopper]

Fantastic info, I’ll be focussing on TikTok and KZbin more now. What do you think about Instagram reels?

[@driesketels]

In short, Instagram copied TikTok. It's great

[@kimberlybel5290]

I love the content :)

[@driesketels]

You are most welcome Kimberly!

[@ArtHealsTheSoul]

Hey great video question. What content should an artist create for KZbin to sale there art , speed paintings, vlogs or tutorials? Asking because YT is a search engine most people go to YT for how to videos but how would that convert in to sales?

[@driesketels]

Good question... what about all three. Why don't you test out several types and see what the market responds best too?

[@ggstylz]

Hi Dries, enjoying your videos. I’ve tried to contact you on your website but there seems to be an error when trying to send an email through. I’m trying to view your art on your website but there’s only masks there. Is there a link to your walk hanging art there at all or is it only on Saatchi Art? Thanks!

[@driesketels]

I used to have a different website, but had to change it for compatibility reasons and at the moment it's still under construction. Thanks for letting me know there is a problem with the contact form. I'll take a look into it whenever I find the time.

[@ggstylz]

@@driesketels No problem thanks Dries. Where’s the best to buy your work from?

[@ElizaPaints]

Hey Dries, just found your channel and loving it so far! Can you do a video on how to get your work into Museums or get featured in art magazines? Social media is great since it gives artists the tools to market no matter where we are in our careers, but I've often wondered about more traditional routes. Thanks :)

[@driesketels]

That's a great question indeed. I have some videos on that topic actually. I think I have a very old video where I explain how to get featured into magazines and I cover one way to go into the museum thing very briefly in a recent one about art competitions that will be published tomorrow. I'll link that one here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGjamnx3ib9so5Y

[@emilymaness]

This is an excellent video! I want to sell my art online. This sort of advice is hard to find. What I want to know is what sort of content to make it bring in buyers and not people just wanting to learn how to make art. Could you make a video about that?

[@driesketels]

Sounds like a good idea, I'm making a poll about that as we speak to see how much need there is for such a video. Thanks for the feedback.

[@emilymaness]

@@driesketels I will keep my eye on your channel for sure. Thank you so much for all the help you are giving us.

There we go. Very good ending. 😂 I liked this video for good content karma.

Hi dries ! This is tue first video I’ve seen of yours.I’m having a hard time finding galleries/ collectors of resin geode art. Maybe there are none?? Any insight would be appreciated

[@driesketels]

Too difficult to cover in a comment perhaps I should make a video about that... not sure if people would want that... Hope you can find your galleries and if you ever need some personalized help you can always contact me.

[@thehappypotter9612]

Hi, Dries! What is your opinion of Pinterest for selling art?

[@driesketels]

That's a good question and I can't answer it because I don't have experience with pinterest...
