My Very First Steemit Post
Greetings and salutations everyone!,
My name is James Hansen and I am a classically trained oil painter/artist who is currently living in Oregon. In 2016 I graduated from The Aristides Atelier at The Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, WA.
As I have routinely expressed for quite some time now in my potential interest in blogging, not too long ago a friend off of Facebook suggested I try Steemit. Ever since then I became excited in the possibilities in what I could share. So I would like to begin by describing the kind of content I'll be generating for the many weeks to come.
I intend to create blogs ranging from:
Art (Drawings & Paintings)
Classical oil painting techniques
Philosophy
Zen
Eastern Mysticism
Life in the Atelier
Mental Health
The Painting Process
Discussions and breakdowns of my current work
...And so much more!
I am very much looking forward to sharing what I have learned over the years to the world, and investing in this for the long haul. If you are interested, please feel free to take a look at my website:

Feedback is always welcome. Thanks for looking you guys!

Thanks a lot Matt, I sure appreciate it. In the near future I'll be focusing on sharing my current work and how it's developing, giving mini lessons, and basically sharing what I've learned in the Atelier. In the meantime if you're interested, please feel free to take a gander at my website:

We love original content! Looking forward to what you have to share. =)
A couple of Steemit tips, ignore the automated bots, they do nothing for you and just earn from your votes.
It is about the people and the relationships you build here. Be patient with building an audience.

For many new people, the voting and points system seems complicated at first. Here is an excellent post and entertaining video about how it all works.

You also earn rewards for resharing (resteem) and commenting. How cool is that? So it pays for us all to get involved with other people and their content.
Welcome aboard and full Steem ahead! =)
Leo.
Thanks a lot Leo, I sure appreciate it. I'll definitely keep these tips in mind :)
