As a professional artist for over 21 years, I get it – you want that loose, expressive style, but your paintings end up feeling stiff. I'll let you in on a little secret…you're trying too hard to get that effortless look. What's going to help you loosen up? Speed painting! I learned about the power of speed painting almost by accident when an art consultant took the "unfinished" energetic pieces over my polished work. The process taught me a valuable lesson about play and having FUN with your art — crucial pieces to the process of making honest art®. Speed painting may flip your creative process on its head…but your art will be better for it! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

It took me years to find my artistic voice and achieve success, but I know it would have taken me a whole lot longer if I hadn't invested in mentorship. In this episode, I'm talking about why this level of support is critical to helping artists make their fine art fine. If you're skeptical about mentorship and community, listen in. If you've been mulling over the idea of mentorship and community, listen in, too! We artists NEED support — and a mentor can be the one to do it.

When starting out, many artists (myself included), struggle to understand how to elevate their work. They often wonder if they need to add more or change their style to make something beautiful happen. However, the secret isn't in adding MORE, but in utilizing LESS. We're talking about negative space! But it's not a dirty word — it just means the empty space surrounding the subject of an artwork. And it's crucial for creating focus, depth, and complexity in your art. If you feel like your work is missing something, negative space may be the most POSITIVE step you have taken yet.

Many artists wonder how to be more free with their art, but the answer isn't a single step — it's a way of life. When you are free, you start listening to your intuition and discover your own unique style. That freedom helps you to create art that is honest, raw, and connects with others. Your art becomes more than just a pretty picture; it becomes an expression of your true self. It's time to let go, to ditch the self-editing, and fear of being judged. It's time to rebel — and this episode will give you a few great places to start! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

I used to think that because I was introverted, there was no reason to have an art community. I already had the support of friends and family — wasn't that enough? The truth is, it wasn't. Because of us artists? We NEED people who innately understand the creative process and can provide us with constructive feedback to improve our work. We aren't meant to do this alone. In this episode, I'll share more about how joining an art community helped me, and how it can also help you overcome creative ruts and take advantage of new opportunities to propel your career forward.

I probably don't have to tell you this, but…social media isn't giving you the full story. It's really easy to play the comparison game when you see people (successfully) selling their art online. I'm guilty of it, too. The truth is, most artists don't JUST sell on social media. More than likely, they're using multiple channels to show their work to potential buyers. It's never JUST about posting a picture of your work and watching the bids roll in. So, what about you? Are you relying solely on social media to sell your work? Well, then…it's time to shake it up! Tune in to get a few different ideas for diversifying your artist's income. P.S. This episode is full of some of my best tips for selling your work. Once you're done listening (and have a better idea of what you want to do next), check out the FULL show notes library to learn more about each idea.

Art validates the human experience. Whether you believe it or not, so does your work (yes, even if you're just painting for fun!). Every piece has a story to tell and someone to connect to, so we can't be afraid to get vulnerable when making art. Someone out there needs the raw, real version of what you have to say. Your art matters, really. In this episode, I'll show you all the ways you can discover how it makes an impact. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

Talking about your art — why is it always SO difficult? Can't you just tell people that the piece is what it is, and leave them to admire what they see? Not quite. While this strategy can work if you're just having fun with art (nothing wrong with that, by the way), if you want to SELL it, you'll need to know how to articulate your WHY. Does the thought of talking about your work terrify you? Make you sweat? Tune in to this episode — I've got a few methods that can help break the ice.

Being an artist is vulnerable work. Slinging paint away in the studio for hours on end, trying to pull what's in your mind out onto the canvas… It can become heavy after a while. That's why we need a community of fellow artists to support us, which is part of why I created my Studio Elite artist mastermind. We aren't meant to walk this artist's path alone. Wondering how an artist mastermind could change your approach to your art (or your art biz)? Not sure a mastermind is right for you? Listen to what current Studio Elite members have to say about the community they've built and what else they've taken away from the program. They've had some truly amazing transformations — and they've built artist connections that will last for years to come. . . . Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

I didn't start painting because of its mental health benefits. However, it's been an incredible benefit to my life. From the first painting I finished to slinging paint yesterday morning, art always seems to pull the deepest thoughts and feelings from the back of my mind. Art helps us move emotions and stress out of our bodies. It helps us break past mental blocks and gives us the freedom and space to be our most authentic selves. Art is healing. But have you ever wondered how? And why should it matter to you as an artist? That's what I'm answering in this episode of the Honest Art Podcast!

You may be ready to sell your art…but is your art ready to be sold? It's easy for artists to get caught up in the magic of creating our best work, but we can't forget the logistics, too.

I get it, pricing your art is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of artists. You're worried people won't buy the higher, but fair, price, so you lowball yourself over and over — until one day, you realize you're not making any money from this gig!

So to take some of that unknown out of the pricing equation (literally and figuratively), we're talking about how to price your art in this episode! We'll cover: Simple, practical, and easy ways to generate a fair price for your art How to keep the buyer, collector, AND you, the artist, happy with the price How to push past doubt when it comes to selling your work NOTE: This episode is a rerun of Episode 14.

Size matters…with your art. So many artists think that just because they have a little skin in the game, they also need to size up their work. But that's not true AT ALL. Size doesn't necessarily equate to success. In fact, there's a lot to consider before you start creating bigger pieces of work, and it may not be right for you depending on what kind of business you want to run. But if you're curious about working with bigger canvases, and getting them to sell, this episode is for you! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!
