I started this weeks ago on a Plein Air day out but I couldn’t get comfortable and everything was wrong. Anyway, just finished it in the studio….

Does anyone have any top tips/ software / apps that can assist in making a staff rota over a month with 2 shifts per day and various staff unavailable for this shift or that day. #rota

I didn't know this! thanks...
Noticing lots of people are using alt text to improve accessibility for people with visual impairments which is fantastic! But, remember to also put capital letters in your hashtags so screen reading tech works and make them easier to read in general ✔️ #Accessibility #CamelCase #SpreadingAwareness

Artists: how much of your prep for any weekend away or holiday is deciding how many sketchbooks to take?
Then stuffing a pair of shorts and a swimsuit in your bag for padding...

I am exhibiting with a group of Bristol artists in North Street Gallery in Bedminster Bristol for a couple of months. These gloves are relief prints.

I was watching a TV programme where they were describing some of the group as professional artists and some as amateur. I wondered what the difference was. Am I professional because that's what I do >50% of the time, or because I make a living from it? Or?

Because I don't see people mention this:

One very effective thing you can do if you can't delete your Instagram is to not interact with ads. Do not click or engage with them for any reason. Even if the brand is a good brand.

A bulk of Meta's value comes from selling ad space.

Anyone else fancy Jackson Art’s Plein Air Day at Kilve Beach Somerset on 7th March?
Maybe we could car-share from Bristol?
