We often wait for big chunks of time to create art, but those aren’t always practical—especially when balancing a job, family, or other commitments. Small pockets of time can be just as powerful.

Now, with more time, I’ve grown my art business to include commissions, an Etsy shop, YouTube AdSense, and tutorials. Here, I’ll share strategies for making the most of 20-minute sessions to build your own thriving art practice.
