Hello Reader,

What if I told you that there are three simple reels that you can make to help boost your Instagram engagement without sacrificing your precious art time?

And what if I told you that those reels are reels anyone can do in just a few minutes?

Would you want to know what they were?

I thought so… which is EXACTLY why I am showing you how today.

I've created a short YouTube tutorial that will show you three simple yet effective reel ideas that will help you capture attention and grow your following.

1. Create a satisfying "Rub Out" Art Reveal: Keep your audience guessing until the big reveal!
2. Showcase your creative process: Use a "Before and After" format to highlight your transformation.
3. Build anticipation: Give your followers a sneak peek of your latest work or colourway.

These reel ideas are quick and easy to create, so you can focus on your art and still have a captivating social media presence.

​Click here to watch the tutorial and start creating engaging reels today! ​

Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to share your reel creation experiences and read on for this month's Artful Insights

Stay creative!

Artful Insights

I'm always on the hunt for new books, podcasts, artists to follow, tools and apps that complement our artful journey, and I do love sharing. So once a month I will showcase what I've discovered in the previous month.

So grab a cuppa and enjoy!

Here are my artful insights this month:

​

Art + Audience with Stacie Bloomfield I've just started listening to Stacie's podcast and I have to share it because I believe it would be useful for a lot of my audience. Stacie share's interviews with artists about their careers, how they grew their audiences, and the biggest "uh-oh" decisions they've ever made (and how they recovered from them). Check it out

Favourite Spoonflower Artist - Heather Dutton (Hang Tight Studio) If you're a maker or just looking to be inspired, I encourage you to check out Heather's Spoonflower Shop. She has an incredible skill with colour. I've been a big fan of Heather's since I started in this business 10 years ago and still to this day admire her work and art business. Check it out
