Welcome Catherine!
Take us through a typical week of creating.
I'm a full-time artist so my agenda is quite hectic at the moment. I work 6 days a week, Saturdays through Thursday's and usually from 10 am through 9 pm.
Because I release a video to YouTube every day of the week, I film the day before the release.
So Sunday through Thursday, I film for YouTube. Saturday's and evenings are reserved for Patreon video rewards, which I release once a week, and other projects like online classes, digital coloring pages and other business-related tasks.
Friday is usually my day off where I get together with my kids or friends. It's a tight schedule but when you do what you love for a living, it's quite manageable.
What does your morning routine look like?
I get up at 6:15 am to prep the videos I uploaded the day before for a 6:30 am release. Then I usually spend about 30 minutes reading and replying to comments and emails ( I check those twice a day, once more at night).
Next is my favorite meal of the day, breakfast, while I watch an episode (or 2) of the Korean drama I'm currently interested in.
After that, a quick shower before I start my working day. I spend the rest of the morning filming my daily art to be released the next day. I'm usually done by lunchtime. Afternoons are reserved for editing.
That is a typical day unless the creativity is on "hiatus". When that happens... well, we don't want to think about that.
What is your favorite subject to paint and why?
That's like asking to pick your favorite child! I have a passion for nature, cityscapes, and faces. Painting flowers and trees comes naturally to me simply because they are so versatile.
I don't paint realistically so my flowers are usually generic shapes that I embellish with detailed line art or simple doodles. Contrasts and details are represented in most of my paintings.
When I get tired of painting flowers and trees, I revert to cityscapes.
Nature is almost always represented in my cityscape paintings. It's the juxtaposition of both that attracts me -- like concrete jungle meets greenery.
Faces are another constant and I mostly draw them in my watercolor sketchbook, a practice I hope to become more regular at.
She makes it look easy but using alcohol inks and watercolors takes practice to get your pieces perfect so those who are just learning, be sure to keep practicing. Play with different colors and techniques as often as you can.

I enjoyed the one video where you showed how to paint flowers using the 3 dot method. I have been doing watercolor for over 22 years after reading Drawing on the right side of the brain by Betty Edwards and taking free classes at the local senior centers. My topic is always flowers and painting bookmarks that I give away or even sell. Thank you for all the creative work that you do. elizabeth shipley
