- What does it take to be a full-time artist? Is an art career all about creating art all day? I go through all of the tasks I do as a full-time artist to run my 6 figure art business.

Was there any tasks that I have to do for my art career that surprised you? Is becoming a full-time artist something you’re interested in? 💕 thank you all so much for all of the kind congratulatory messages as well 👶😍
....I have no words to say how much I respect you and like you ..I am just speechless 🤐
Congrats on your new baby boy Kirsty!! Number 11 is now changing dirty nappies, burping and being a mom to your sweet baby boy 🍼
He is so pretty, such a handsome boy! Congratulatons!!! Xxx
i love you so much!! wish you and your family the best 💕💕💞💘💝💓
Kirsty Partridge Art Congratulations! It really is hard work. I’ve been complaining a lot lately that it seems I spend more time now doing so much admin work and other related things as you mentioned, such as scanning traditional art, making videos and editing them, creating social media content and graphics (which has to be different in size etc for different platforms), writing updates, replying to emails and other written content, and developing new ideas and products. Planning and creating art you want to put on your own products and keeping on top of all the things that still go wrong no matter how much research you do ahead of time can be really exhausting. You learn that sometimes you don’t always get correct information and that businesses you are counting on to keep up with their end of the deal are not always reliable and their mistakes or misinformation can cost you. It takes a lot of time and
effort, but to me it’s worth it. I’m in charge of my own destiny.
Who else has a dream of being a full time artist?
Me tooo but no one support ...Indian artist community 🥺
I'm a full time artist and I love it! I have been full time (kind of, since I'm at home with my son too) and it can be a roller coaster with the $$$, but otherwise, I love the challenge of making my art and sharing it with the world!
@@rachelsstudiodotcom you are super mom ...that's I would say😃
I already am, the thing is just, that at the moment I do not really make any money with it. 😆 I realized some time ago though that I have to decide: I could either live and work "normal" and get in maybe a max. of 7 hours of working on my art every week and do this for the rest of my life and hate it, or I could work on my art every single day and hope that I will make decent money this way some day. I chose the latter. If it never earns me any good money, than I at least get to do what I love.
@@justacatwhocantype that's true....👏
I accidentally read the thumbnail as "how I RUIN my 6 figure business" 🤦♀️
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 it's happen with me too
Me too🤣
😂😂😂
@@KirstyPartridgeArt hey Kirsty congratulations for you new born baby ...may God bless with you lots of happiness and joy in your life
How does that even happen
It's like an iceberg, we only see the part above water, there is so much unseen underneath. All her prep, planning, admin, writing, visuals, video, etc. Organization seems to be key. The actual art and creativity is just the "tip of the iceberg". I'm exhausted just watching this. 😆

I’d be interested to hear her transition over the last three years of how she started of and what she did back then compared to now.
Actual GOALS lol. Congrats on your baby🥰
I love hearing about your experiences and insights into having an art business. Could you make a detailed video about taxes (particularly for the UK), were you ever part-time? How did that change when you went full-time?
Thanks for the suggestion! And yes I was part time when I started my channel. I worked a full-time job alongside building my art career for a few years until my art business was bringing in full-time wage 🥰 I still did many of these same tasks when I was doing it as a side hustle. The only difference is that when I went full time I had even more time available to invest in my business 💕
Kirsty Partridge Art thanks for your response. My question is more to do with how much your taxes changed, I’m guessing for the same art income, you pay more tax when it’s your side hustle than when it’s your full-time gig?
Devansh Sancheti ??
@@TemiDansoArt yes say what happened 😒😏
Congratulations on your becoming a mother , God bless the little baby with the best of everything ! You are an amazing artist , I am sure you will be a great Mom.
I love this so much! ❤️ you inspired me to start my own art TH-cam channel and I just passed 300 subs! 😱 you showed that artists can still be successful in life 💕
Yes me tooo .... I am glad to share my experience I learned lots of thing from her and I passed 200 subs today
You'll grow fast - I checked out your channel. It's great!
@@rachelsstudiodotcom thnx for your apritiation 😊 such a kind person you are 🥺
WELL DONE
@@Wee.low1 thnx 😊
Sounds overwhelming! How do you fit this all in? This is my dream but I feel improving my art skills is all consuming at the moment...
I’ve decided to take the leap of being a full time artist so this came at the perfect time! Thank you for the video! Appreciate all your content :)
I have to give you props. You are one of very few I've seen doing it right. I'm working on ALL of these things with some slightly different twists of my own. I had a hunch I could potentially make six figures doing this. You're a far better artist than me but I'll get there in time. Thanks for the confirmation!

TAEKOOK LOVER army ^~^
I love these art career tip videos. I definitely have a long way to go before I’m ready to really dive in deep, but knowing these things ahead of time is something I’m really setting my sights on. Right now the biggest thing I’m learning is how to properly take pictures of my art and edit them with my iPad because that’s the best I’ve got to work with.
Also, congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!!! 🥰
You are so inspirational, also congrats on your baby!
Your my favorite artist on TH-cam ❤️
And congratulations with your baby !
Congratulations Kirsty. It’s so incredible watching you make being an artist an achievable career! I hope you get to be an inspiration to so so many more people! Keep safe 💛 xxx
I swear I have improved so much watching her videos. I have seen so many books and videos to help but nothing has helped me as much as u have with ur tutorials.
Congratulations with your baby😊💗
First of all congrats for your baby and thank you for this . Much love from me ❤️.
What made me sad is when you said working on your actual art is the smallest part of your business. All those other things you touch upon, to me, are secondary to making art. As a result I fail at mundane things like customer care or accounting. I can't stay awake long enough to deal with money stuff but I can put 18 hrs into a drawing lol.
Hi Kirsty..you are so generous with your time and supporting others making a start, you deserve to be successful. Thank you .
Great Video!
"I dont do commisioned ...Iam into teaching people ..." ♥️
I became an artist long before digital art was even a thing! I believe that you have found so many more ways to generate income and the Internet has opened up so many revenue streams! I remember having 3 students in a class that really did not pay for itself! The same class given 1 year later, with 20 participants more than generated a hefty profit! It was so hit and miss before you could advertise or even record the class for additional lessons and creating another revenue stream! Wonderful video! Thanks!
I have been following your channel for a long time and learned so much from you over the years... You are a great inspiration behind this channel that I created a month ago aside from having a full time job at hand. So thank you Kirsty! 😌🙏🏼❤️
Congratulations Kirsty ❤️❤️ and thanks for this wonderful video
ThAnk you for sharing this valuable information. I aspire! 🎨
This video is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!
You are such an inspiration! Great video, as always :-)
I love this!
When I try and explain to people that I really only draw maybe 10% of my time, it's quite hard to explain what else it is that I do with my time... Your video explains exactly what I do with my time!
Another really useful video from you. I've been dabbling for a little while now and I've only recently started my own youtube channel.😁
It's because I was able to upgrade my skills thanks to you and also because of videos like this that Iv" been able to keep pushing forwards.
So thank you Kirsty!! Also a big congratulations on the little one. 😍
Kristy, not only are you an amazing talented artist, you are also an amazing brilliant strategist. I always enjoy your vids.
Keep up your great work in educating upcoming artist.
Your tasks are mind-boggling.
congratulations on having a baby! you've been through such an exhausting ordeal but through your hard work you've brought an adorable baby boy into the world.
Congrats on having a baby kirsty! he/she will become a great artist one day, like you.
If they want to 😉😂
EmDoesArt i knew someone would get offended with that comment 😂
Naville Torres I wasn’t offended I was pointing out that they may not want to be an artist
@@EmDoesArt you have a point lol, but most likely they will. atleast i hope
This video is right on target for just about any business that you want to run and take into the 6 figure (or more) range. I have appreciated your videos so much, although I do not have any thought of having an art 'career'. I would just like to do some art for myself and also combine it with the needlework types things that I like doing and that MY business centers one.
THIS VIDEO IS WHAT I NEEDED!
This is precious. And really well made. 👌🏾
Congratulations for your new little life ❤❤
Awesome video, great advice 😊👏
Aww congrats for your baby 🦄👼💐
Love ur artwork ur so amazing and inspiring
I'm thinking of becoming a full time artist and this video is really helpful.
I've been following you for a very long time and I've learnt art and many artist related stuffs too...
😁😁 I hope i can meet you in person once i become a better artist. You inspired me a lot.... 😁😁
This is such _excellent_ content - THANK YOU!
I wish you millions more subscribers soon after your first mil - nearly there!! 🎉
Thank you for your art!
I am so glad for this info
These are very useful advices! Thank you!
Thank you for this video 🌱
Very informative, eye-opening and well done. I'm just getting back to my art career, so look forward to learning more from your video collection. Thank you, Kirsty. Happy Easter!
Much appreciate your sharing, i've learned alot since i watched your video, thank you so much
Thank you Kirsty for making these videos I have always wanted to be an artist but didn't know how to make money doing it . You have helped me become a better artist also helped me know how to run an art business .
Congrats with your little boy 🥰 I've heard you speak of what your days are like, being a full time artist before, so there were no surprises. But still it it so incredible what you've managed with building a career in such a hard business. You've really nailed it, and you're not even 30 yet 😃👍🏻👏
THANK YOU so much for this video! I'm just starting out, so this video was beyond helpful. It will help me organize and better plan my time. Thank you!!!
Really appreciate the genuine honesty and clear explanations! You’re a phenomenal artist, and your videos are so well put together! New sub😊
Almost at 1 mil! Congrats!
Excellent video. Sharing with my sculpture professor friend!
Great video for me to watch... I'm an aspiring artist myself and I want to focus more on the teaching aspect as well. Good points and it great that other people can finally start to understand that being an artist is more than sitting in a room and painting all day n_n
Excellent. 😍😍😍I like the way you draw!!!💗💗💗
I'm a struggling artist and your videos always inspire me!
I hope I get to 1000 subs next year. Also, congrats for your baby!! ❤️
You can do it! It took me a few months to get to 1000 but if you're focused you can do it.
@@rachelsstudiodotcom Thanks for your kind words! Wish you much more success with your channel too. ❤️
I hope I can reach 1000 some day too! Good luck! 🍀
EmDoesArt your art is really amazing keep working and 1000 subs shouldn’t be too hard
You are my inspiration 😄
😳😳 So I have drawn your sketch portrait , learning from your patrons 😄😄👏👏🤝
Congratulations Kirsty !!may god bless your baby.👶
Excellent! Very practical and realistic.
Road to 1M subscribers! And congratulations for a healthy baby boy 😍 Kirsty!
This video is really impressive...
now it’s been 2 years I’m looking at your work on TH-cam from France, cause I’ve been touched by the drawing’s world. Impressive ? Yes. I mean the high visual quality of videos, the high level of instruction you’re providing, and the simplicity of your explanations make your hard work very attracting and motivating. This useful content really helps us to realise the hidden part of becoming and artist, to not be disappointed to much if we don’t succeed right away and to be conscient of all the preparation is needed to reach the goal.
Sincerely congrats
Big thanks, big hug and best of luck
Bye
Theres a reason we have terms like "starving artist"... and why most classical artists were not appreciated until after they died...
Need to find a business nitch and manage an actual business. I agree with everything you've said here. It's just life. That is required of any self respecting business owner. It doesnt change. The products and services differ, but management, adaptation to market trends, and continual learning and expansion are crucial.
Other than that, I love how you manage to present the information in a very sweet and personable way that makes it less "scary"... lol
Practical, yet calm.
I've known artists and designers who are very "puffed up", or just nasty... your approach is really refreshing. I can actually see and feel that you actually enjoy what you do (while actually being good////no... AWESOME at your talent and profession). I've taken instruction from professional artists, but also those who could not "do", just "teach".
I think you do a wonderful job in your videos. Keep it up!
Congrats on becoming a mother. God bless your growing family!
Congratulations on your baby! Loads of Love 💕 from India
I love doing/Making art for a living... I'm living the GOOD life! 😊💥
Congratulations 🎉 Kirsty
Dear I love your artwork. It's Fascinating
Bro I am a artist from India
You are very hard working.. Hats off to u.. 🙋🏻♀😘..Keep going.. Loads of love 😘😘❤
Wow! So beautiful video as always, and useful! Congratulations! 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎉🎉🎉🎉🌼🌼🌼🌼
Great tips! you are a real inspiration! I hope you will make more videos on tips how to grow an art career
Thank you for reminding that
I am an artist who loves to educate. Thank you for illustrating your path into your passion. It really encouraged me pursue it more.
I loved this video! Could you speak more about your planning? How do you share your time throughout the week?
Just watching this video and I think already a lot of people have changed their minds perception about a daily life of an artist. Big well done 👏
Great, thanks!!
Kirsty, well done, your always working hard, I'm very proud and in awe of you, you make your mum and dad very proud sweetheart. Enjoy time with your beautiful little boy, he is adorable 🥰🥰🥰😘
Being a full time artist can be a lot of work but in the end, it is rewarding. I'll need to prepare myself. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I'm a youtuber and an artist, and I find this video encouraging because my own life contains a lot more of the "other stuff" than I'd sometimes like. But one thing you didn't mention is that it is still CREATING ART to make images for social media, and even to make videos. And you do all it beautifully. :) (Like another commentor, I just reached 300 subscribers recently on youtube!)
Beautiful 🤩
Thanks for the insights in your work and business. Your video really makes visible how much work is done in the background and is maybe not visible in the videos.
Wish you success!
Congrats with your baby!! :)
Such an interesting and inspiring video! 🤩
So nice to hear your views
Wow another interesting and realistic topic, exactly what i looking for.
Kirsty You are my inspiration!! One day I will meet you in future you are a great artist I love your artworks and you you are a great art teacher to me🥰
Great video! Ive started a full time photography business and it helped me a lot starting as a side hustle and get to learn about the non-artsy tasks in my own time. "Put one foot in front of the other. Some day you can look back and you have climbed a mountain."
Very insightful, thanks! I can see that this is what makes a difference between the artists that waits to be "discovered" and the ones who actually make a living out of this.
I don't know how you can do those realism.👍👍😍😍 I always become shocked when I actually see your drawings every day. Just become speechless 🤐🤐
Especially with just colours and pencil, and NOT with an tab! Unbelievable, a genius this one.
I love Canva too! Loved seeing the sneak peek into the artist’s life! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Kirsten!
I need to check out Canva
