do you like painting and earn money from this hobby

I am a professional artist...but i really don't consider myself being one.I chose painting when i was in 3-rd grade in school...i went to a special art's and craft's school and just signed myself up..then asked my parents for theyr approval.i was fasinated with colours...and first (of course) i used water-based colours then after a few years tried the oil-based ones and now acryl.I really love art in general but as a money-making thing it's just bad.You either need tons of luck or just to know people.you might try (if you exercise enough) to paint for money based on commands (what people want).Even though i had many prizes as a kid....now they've proven useless for example.

I like oil painting.It is tedious and can be messy but the outcome of the work is excellent.I am trying to get a place to sell my works.But currently i am studying and so i have less time to complete any new projects.

any paints will do..i don't have any personal favourite.i used to paint with water colours alot during my elementary school days.ow,i prefer to draw more than painting.I have no idea how to trun a hobbies into money making bussiness.Maybe u can try selling at e-bay

I can't draw anything nice, but my younger brother (17yrs.) is a very nice artist. Whenever I'm at mummy's home, & he is painting, I start to paint...he worries a lot, because I only waste his colours. Still he encourages me...!May be, I learn good painting in future.

I enjoy painting and drawing yes. I've only made a small ammount from selling a art piece i did for my gcse's (when i was at school). Other than this no i've never made anything from this and i mainly do it because i enjoy it. this doesn't mean i couldn't but i probably won't. Kudos ~Joey

i use water colours. I receive order to paint an object.i give a price to consumer.And they pay it after my painting finish.
