Other Musings
I was a guest on the ‘Learn to Paint’ podcast and here’s what happened…
I was a guest on a Learn to Paint podcast with Kelly Powers. It just aired this week (you’ll want to get on her mailing list so that you get the alerts for all of her shows!).
We covered some fun subjects… talking points I think you will find helpful/inspiring/downright funny…(you know me, never one to pass on any ridiculous thought I’ve ever had.)
Kelly is so organized—she’s put in the minute mark on the things we covered:
1:00 How I got into art
1:12 How I found oil specifically
2:00 What does oil as a medium allows me to do as an artist
2:44 The frustrations of starting a new medium
4:01 Deciding to make art a priority
5:49 What I paint on and why / Paints
6:01 What characteristics I want in my paint
6:09 My palette

11:24 The importance of a repeatable process
12:32 What I need from reference photos
14:56 Being conscious of what I want to paint
18:15 Biggest challenges I see students facing with color

P.S. Over 700 members are catching the vision we cast for Flow, the exciting monthly creative membership that opened earlier this year.
I’d like for you to consider this: What if it’s your time to do this thing? To have a turning point in where you are in your creative life? You CAN be the one having so much delight, camaraderie, and growth—something just for you. If not now, when?
Flow Creative Monthly Membership will be opening its doors for new members in September. Get on the wait list just by clicking here!
