Show Notes
Okay… you’ve done thing. Now to promote it. We have to let people know, right? Instagram: do a reel, a still, a carousel, onto Pinterest, email, Facebook, a quick Instagram live, and then onto stories. Oh and maybe YouTube. Phew. All done. Don’t make me tell people again… but algorithms. What if no one sees any of it? Hmmmm… Did the email go to ‘junk’?

What if people get sick of me, unsubscribe and everyone hates me? The cringe!

More from artchatter with Gaynor Leverett-Jaques & Karen George
No matter what life throws at us, we have stuff to do. We have events. Big, small and all approached with hope and a smile. We need our paintings finished, framed and ready to go…done. Except there’s so much more to consider.
What dictates how you create? Practicality, colour, luminosity, the way it feeeeeelsss, the tools you use, the space you have?
Get ready for the invasion of small humans. It’s THAT time again, people will visit, tiny creatures will devour your brain cells AND energy. Grandparent artists will find their days filled with love and sticky fingers; parent artists will become personal chauffeurs, chefs, and/or entertainment officers.
