Thank you so much for having me on, I took a lot of ideas out of our chat together!
I LOVE discovering new artists and supporting eachother. Your artwork is beautiful!

The cool thing about traditional painting is that even if you don't do educational content, just watching someone paint can help others see what's going on and they pick up a thing or two just by observing alone. So no need to explain anything, just record yourself painting and for those that want to learn will just observe how you do your craft and they'll learn a thing or two in the process.
i really love the interviews!!! I feel like what I usually see is interviews of already "successful" artists & illustrators - it's so valuable to see advice given to those who AREN'T quite there yet that we (I) can follow~
Thank you Hannah, I'm glad you're enjoying!! I feel like a lot of us are struggling with the same things and hearing from people in the in-between stages is often more useful than interviewing a pro!
Definitely feels more like a creative community now rather than competition. It’s great! We all have something to contribute and share creatively although there are levels to it. Can all be appreciated
The section on "growing an audience without educational content" is exactly what I needed to hear as a future content creator (not ready to start posting yet). I have a greater interest in showing my journey and development as an artist cause I'm not nor can I picture myself being comfortable with teaching anything--especially since I consider myself an amateur. At most, I see myself dropping some tips and tricks at times. It was difficult for me to come to this conclusion cause I thought I should be more educational but this helped reassure my initial plans :)
✨This is so great that you’re helping small artists! Scott’s art is beautiful!✨
Two things: I like that (unlike a lot of art advice or productivity types) the things you talk about are the things *you * are actually doing. So many “how to make money doing art” gurus out there aren’t even necessarily making art; they selling people the advice.
Second, I like that we actually get to see it in practice with someone who is probably starting out like most of your subscribers.
Anyway, I’ve been trying since the early 2000s to crack this nut and I think your advice and videos are really helping.
I
Edit: literally the first ad that played was one of the guru-types 😅
Very interesting conversation - thanks for that! My tipp for Scott would be to change your thumbnails, as you are giving away the most interesting part by showing your painting in every thumbnail. I feel like I dont need to click anymore as I already saw it. Try experimenting with blurring it etc when you title it "the best thing I ever made".
I love videos like this as a small aspiring artist! It really helps to see what other artists are going through, and all the questions they constantly ask their selves (like Scott). Makes me feel a little less crazy, because I feel like I'm constantly strategizing, and going down rabbit holes on how to do more, and market better. But again, I'm reminded patience, and the long game. Healthy growth takes time, sometimes it feel like it's never going to happen, but it's important not to focus on that too much and have fun with what you create! 😊
kelsey!!!! 😭😭 ur advice is always so spot on omgggggg, I love when you started giving him ideas on how to market his art and AAAA I saw the vision immediately, so grateful to have found your acc, you’ve helped me sm 😭🎀
Thanks for keeping it real Kelsey! Inspired by you and your “can do” attitude!
thank you - both of you for putting this talk out there :)
its very nice to see people really talk about art and the path of it, there are a lot of things other than art making and I a glad to hear your discussion about it :)
and thank you for the opportunity for us to be in a future art talk with you, this is a very valuable thing that you offer :)
btw you didnt mention Commissions to Scott - which can also be a good path for income for him - maybe a clothing brands might want a painting with his work, or maybe individual people want a painting of them as well.
I love this dialogue! Your videos are always helpful but watching these have really been amazing to see a two way conversation.
great example of seeing your advice in action and the feedback you get from Scott. Gives me ideas on what I can offer myself (e.g. an Etsy store) and what kind of products I can bring to the table. Thanks, Kelsey!
This is relatable and helpful thank you both. Especially the discussion around not wanting to make education videos but discussing the process of learning as you go
These interviews are so awesome and you're clearly so knowledgeable Im so in awe of how clearly you are able to give practical advice! I love hearing from smaller artists trying to figure it out; Im looking forward to more of these!!
Wow - loved the interview!!! So much excellent advice! ❤
Just filled out an application!
Thank you so much, both for your time and consideration, and for everything you do for the artistic community. Your creative journey is so inspiring, and I can’t wait to see where it takes you!
This was so good. I geek out about starting a business, and it’s so nice hearing other people talk through where they want to go next when they’re still at beginning stages!
I've been really thinking about asking to chat with you on ideas to grow my business but I've been too afraid to ask! I'm so glad you are doing this for your subscribers. Watching these videos has actually helped me stear towards ideas that I think will help me grow so thank you for being so generous! If by chance you ever have time to chat, I'd love to pick your brain :)
I don't know about advising an Etsy shop at this stage. I've been an etsy seller for over 7 years and it's changed drastically. I would recommend he have his own website and promote it through his youtube channel and whatever other socials.
I love this interview format and I signed up for that form as well. I'm an artist with a very small social following and its been that way for years. Nice to see smaller accounts get noticed.
This is easily the best video you’ve uploaded so interesting to hear real artists talk unscripted. You should def show more conversations like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
A surprising interview! 😊 I'm so glad you talked! It was interesting and helpful. Scott is a skilled hardworking artist and I believe he'll achieve whatever his art goals are with his dedication 😊
Thank you to both of you for this very refreshing conversation ! A very good concept, I like it a lot.
I don't think I've ever stopped the video and went to fill the form faster than right now 😀 it was a great interview and a lot of the questions and ideas were relatable and maybe something I could apply too. Thanks for another useful video
I genuinely appreciate your content as it has been helping me to organize my own plan for my artist career but this segment in particular is really helpful! Love your content and thank you so much for all the valuable information you provide to us ❤
Thanks for what you do. Our art is very different but your videos have been very informative and theyre like the only 'tips for professional artists' type videos I will watch. So many are just yuck, or annoying, but I find you to be straightforward, honest, and like not a grifter, which shouldn't be so rare. As I've been trying to change my habits and figure out the business side of making art, your channel has been a resource and I appreciate it. Keep up the good work and maybe one day Ill be able to pay it back or at least pay it forward.
The advice you share with us is so invaluable! Thank you for everything you do, so hyped to launch my channel with your advice 💕
I love this format :D
I'm still not sure how I eventually want to turn what I love doing into a way to earn money so I can spend more time on it, but I really love how open you are about the business side of content creation and how approachable you are about that topic. It makes the whole process seem more doable and approachable as well, and less intimidating.
I am in a similar position where I do art as a side job so immediate turnaround isn't my focus so this video was amazing. Thank you !
I’ve seen Scott’s paintings on the oil painting portion of the discord! They are beautiful, so excited to watch this video!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
This was a cool one to come home to. I feel like you gave so much valuable advice and in my opinion, it is quite smart not to show the painting process start to finish every time because as a viewer, I'd be curious to check out other platforms to see the finished product or more of the process. Was a really interesting video to watch! Sometimes one can feel quite alone with one's struggles and this proved the opposite :)
This is amazing. So interesting and useful to hear the conversation, thanks for sharing :)
this is amazing, I love these interviews ☺☺
This is such great information, Im a small silver pouring art channel and lot of the info crosses over i think, i need to up my game for sure looking at this! thank you sharing your knowledge :)
i really enjoyed this conversation!
I haven't watched Scott much, but me with a few others very briefly talked once with him on Kelsey's discord and I've been procrastinating on getting into his videos ever since.
I don't really watch streams myself, but I like the format Scott has, I really enjoyed the last video with the explanation of the big painting from taking photos through making a small version first, then the final piece.
welcome to the dark side :D
@@ScottHebertArt It's cozy here! ^^
Super helpful and informative. Great interview style
Great call!
So good!
this is so helpful thank you so so much :)
Thank you for the video gorgeous 💕
22:22 I literally just started typing "ask independent makers on Etsy, or people advertising their fashion on TikTok and YT." Lol. Definitely search independent fashion or fashion designers on socials (idk fashion social media, so if anyone else knows a tag they use to find indepent fashion designers, especially that make dresses, please add)
This was so good and informative!
I feel like I think I filled out the form before, but also I have ADHD so my memory on this is not very reliable. 😅
Very nice
How do I have that work life balance to do art? I work in home health and I'm at work all day with almost 50 hrs a week some week. I can't just say no to my job when another staff gets sick and staffing is tight. I haven't posted and marketed my stuff in months because of it.
Love this talk, I’d love to get on a call with you if possible Kelsey :)
fill out the form linked in the description and I might reach out in a bit! I'm trying to have a good mix of people and topics right now.
How I'm I just finding this out😢
1) Why would "traditional" ever be bad? 2) Where can I find the "Allison" conversation. Thank you!
a more traditional style isn't bad at all (I consider my own style. a lot more traditional), it's just associated with an older time and the current trends lean a lot more modern and contemporary. You can find my conversation with Allison here: th-cam.com/video/qQwSpqXKrYo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! And Thank you for these conversations!

Can you help me? I'm a schizophrenic artist with people offering to buy. I just don't know how to do the business side of things and am scared monetizing will ruin it for me. Also, some offers seem like a scam. Art is really my therapy, but I need the money.
Help meeeee I’ll PAY!!!
Biltmore house old money for sure
First
dammit
U hella cute
