This does not have to be the final goal of your art career, but should instead be something to keep you artistically engaged while paying the bills. For many painters, this translates to portraiture. Sign up to do 15 minute portraits at a local fair or outdoor event. You might also: Paint local or iconic scenes and print these on postcards. You could sell these online, or to a local boutique. Bid to paint public art installations, like murals. Sell pieces to a local gallery. While you are going to school or during your apprenticeship, you'll meet other artists, art collectors or buyers, and other people associated with fine art. Make up some simple business cards with your information and exchange these with people who might be able to help you in your goal of becoming a painter. Once you figured out the theme you are passionate about and the medium you prefer working in, devote time and thought to the people who will buy your art. You'll need to do some research, as every situation will be different for each artist, but you might look into: The people who have bought your art in the past. What features do these people have in common, and how might you use that information to sell your art? Artists similar to yourself. Look at the business model of these people, who they are marketing to, and how they are marketing. . There are also hosted sites you might go through, like Etsy and Patreon, but having your own website can accomplish two purposes for you. First and foremost, you can include your portfolio and post pieces that are for sale as well as a shopping cart feature for those who would like to buy your art outright. Secondly, your business website will give you more of a presence as an artist, making you look more professional to prospective clients. It might be a while before you can afford to open your own gallery to sell your work, but you might be able to snag an exhibition at a gallery that focuses on new and emerging talent. These venues are frequently found in urban and semi-urban environments. Submit your art for review with the gallery manager. Schools can sometimes be a profitable place for you to start, or in some cases offer cheaper spaces for exhibiting the work of beginning artists. Though many artists create work as a labor of love, you should still treat your work as a business. It is, after all, the thing you hope to make a living off of. Don't offer freebies unless for a reason, like for marketing purposes. Though people might think, "it's easy for her to paint," those people don't realize how much time, effort, and money you've spent developing that skill. Always treat your time and skill as a resource and make it clear you expect appropriate compensation for your efforts.

Summary: Think of a profitable activity. Make, and keep, connections. Brainstorm venues for selling. Start a website Open a gallery. Treat your work like a business.

A brush usually applies makeup the neatest, and fingers are not generally recommended. However, foil makeup can sometimes dry while on a brush as the fibers absorb it. If your makeup is drying on the brush while you're attempting to apply it, simply apply it with your fingers. Many people find their ring fingers work best for applying foil eyeshadow. Never place other colors over foils. You can add additional colors surrounding the foils after applying the foil shadow, but anything applied over foil eyeshadow will not show up well. Foil is meant to be applied over existing eyeshadow and makeup. Foil eyeshadow is usually used as part of a more dramatic look. Therefore, thicker is generally better. Keep applying layers until your full lid is covered. If your eyelid is exposed, your eyeshadow will look patchy. When applying something as dramatic as foil eyeshadow, you do not need a lot of heavy makeup. Use a light layer of foundation, concealer, lipstick, and other makeup products. By sticking a more natural look elsewhere, you won't take any attention away from your dramatic eyes.

Summary: Feel free to use your fingers, if necessary. Top off other colors with foils. Apply a thicker layer of foil. Keep your other makeup minimal.

When you sand drywall, you are going to get powder everywhere. If you've ever had a flour accident in the kitchen, then you know exactly how much mess fine powder can cause. You don't want to be cleaning that up from all over the room and the rest of your house, so start by putting drop cloths on the floor. Then, you would have to sweep or vacuum for days to get all the dust up. The simplest way to add some ventilation is to crack your windows. For better ventilation, put box fans in the windows facing outward to blow some of that dust away from you. Keep in mind, though, that screens will become clogged with dust, so you may want to take them off both doors and windows. While you want air movement, you don't want air flow from the drywall room to other rooms, as that will spread the dust around. Turning the air movement off will help keep the dust contained. While shutting off the air will help a great deal, it's also a good idea to block off the return vents. Cover them with plastic and tape around the edges. That way, drywall dust won't be able to sift into the vent, which would spread it around your house and ruin the filter. It's best to move furniture out of the room if at all possible. However, if you can't move it or even if it's just nearby the entrance to the room, throw a drop cloth over it. Covering it will be much easier than trying to clean dust out of it. Put on glasses or goggles to protect your eyes. You will also want to wear a painter's jumpsuit with a hat. Gritty eyes are no fun for anyone! Also, your lungs will thank you if you wear a respirator or dust mask. Look to see if it's rated for drywall. If it's not, that means the particles can still get through, which defeats the purpose. If you can't get as much ventilation in the room as you should, you'll need to change out your mask every hour. Just set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself so you don't come out of your work-induced stupor 3 hours later. If you don't want to spend days showering, you might throw some protection over your hair, such as a scarf, hat, or even a shower cap.
Summary: Put down drop cloths. Get the air flowing. Turn the air conditioner/heat off. Block off the return air vents. Cover any furniture. Protect yourself.
