let's art together

join me on stream for art hangouts and studies!

I usually only stream on the weekends. During my streams, I like to spend my time with fellow artists and art aficionados, talking about the little I know, my process, and use our shared time for improvement, learning, and creating.

catch me live in the future at twitch.tv/birthofvns !

F.A.Q.s

You have an accent, where are you from?- I was born in the USA but lived in Brazil until I was 15 years old. I currently Live in Florida.

When did you start drawing?- When I was young I doodled a lot, but really took art seriously and started digital art in 2015.

Did you go to art school/college?- No degree, I'm learning from books and content online, also with help of friends' critiques.

When did you start streaming?- I started streaming back in May 2018, and took about a long ass hiatus from 2019 to 2020

What do you stream?
- Digital art is the focus, but I may stream some games with my friends here and there

What do you use to paint and what brushes do you use?
- Scroll down for a list of my software and equipment. My brushes are a mix given to me by friends, type !brushes in chat for a link to download them.

Do you have a set schedule for streaming?
- No set schedule atm, but will most probably stream on fridays/weekends

Why Vns/Venus?
- If you take some vowels and consonants from my name, it becomes Vns, which sounds like Venus.- I am also a lover of greco-roman mythology, so I adopted the name Venus for mmos, and it stuck.

Do you do art full time?
- No, art is mostly a hobbie atm, something I do for pleasure. I work with structural engineering.
