➡️ ART STYLE ACADEMY: www.laurenlesley.com/asa-sale...
What is it REALLY Like being a Full-Time Artist? In this video, I'm spilling the tea on all of the hardest things about being a full-time artist especially when you are trying to freelance as a surface pattern designer or license your designs.
I'm also explaining WHY I decided to go back to an in-house job as a Senior Textile Designer.

Being a Full-Time Artist is nearly impossible if you don't have an Art Style. Develop your own style here: www.laurenlesley.com/asa-sales-page-35-spots

It’s also less fun to be an artist when you have to make a living and pay your bill with it. I’ve been freelance since 2007 and there have been some lean years lately!!!! This is very good advice from you 💛

Love your honesty, Lauren, and congratulations on your new baby daughter🎉🩷

[@LaurenLesley]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me. 🤗💗

I love the technique for traditional surface pattern. Adding more to the painting after the cutting and glueing seems like a fun way to add more complexity and experiment. Even doing it digitally would be a blast. Loved the discussion as well thanks!

[@LaurenLesley]

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your comment. I loved experimenting with the traditional technique of surface pattern design especially for a more painterly, complex design. I want to do more of this. Thanks so much for watching!! 🤗🥰💗
