Artist Nissa Kauppila, first post to Steemit!

[nissakauppila]

Hi everyone, great to be here on Steemit! I'm looking forward to sharing my work and my life as a career artist. I currently have a studio here in Shenzhen, China and exhibit around the world. I've used other social media as a means of sharing my work and artistic process, such as Instagram, Facebook, etc., but I keep hearing about blockchain and I thought I'd give it a try :-)

I use traditional Chinese watercolors and ink in my work, and paint on traditional Chinese rice paper--I'll go more into the physical process down the road, but for now here's an example of my style and one of my common themes: birds in flight. This particular piece was inspired by egrets I've observed in Hong Kong:

Looking forward to becoming part of the Steemit Universe!

Hey nissakaupila

Hey!

[steemsociety]

Hello nissakauppila! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
