I have thought about this for a week now and my love of painting comes down most intensely to painting environments (or backgrounds if you like). 
This is what I do best even though I discovered this later on in my process to become a professional artist, as backgrounds were scary as hell to my complete beginner self, with their insane complexity and arcane rules. Now, we're more like friends and we understand each other a bit better. Most of the time

Opening up a Patreon page taught me that perhaps I need to narrow down my focus to what I really love doing and what I want others to learn from me as I further learn it myself and specialize more.
A simple idea came to me: teach what you love doing best.

I've changed my Patreon to reflect this:

A changing monthly environment theme. For example: For this December it'll be Old Japanese Architecture and theme inspired Backgrounds.
Each week a breakdown, a video process with voice over and notes (along with high rez images and PSDs) will be released on the focused studies done on this theme (for example : Studying specific jungle flora and trees and how to paint them to compliment a composition).
Each week it'll be a different element of the theme environment that will be studied and released to the supporters.
By the end of the 4th week of the month, a final painting will be done to conclude the theme. And then on to the next theme.

What will the supporters get from this?
Practical steps to becoming a professional background painter, with homework attached.

If you are interested and you like what I do and want to become a professional background painter and designer, consider supporting me on Patreon.
First lesson begins in December
