What It Really Takes to Build an Art Career | Artist Diary

A peaceful and productive week in my life as a full-time artist 🎨 This week I’m taking you behind the scenes of everything that goes into running my art business — not just the painting. There’s a studio reset, life admin, packing orders, a networking day in Knutsford and plenty of progress on my latest oil painting commission. I’m also sharing one piece of advice from Delphian Gallery that really stuck with me — and what I think might be one of the single most useful things you can do to improve your art career. If you enjoy realistic artist diaries and seeing the business, painting and everyday life behind making it as an artist, I hope you enjoy spending the week with me. You can find my original paintings, prints and more here: [www.amandamulquineybirbeck.com](http://www.amandamulquineybirbeck.com) Instagram: @amandamulquineyart Thanks so much for watching — and if you enjoyed the video, I’d love you to subscribe and join me for the next one.
