4 Things You Might Need to Hear Right Now

The hardest thing I had to learn as an artist is that my art is enough. -- I was scrolling through my Instagram feed which naturally results in a bruised chin as my jaw hits the floor with what feels like every second post. And like usual a new work-in-progress piece from one of my favorites of all time stopped my thumb dead in it's tracks. As much as I hate to admit it, the thoughts quickly went from "ahhh amazing!!" to "I love how she details the feathers in bright light" to "ugh I'll never be as good as her". I was one step away from hopping into my studio and starting a paint thinner-scented burning party. Have you ever been there? In that nasty dark space where your mind keeps telling you that you'll never measure up? I hate it. It controlled me for years. And not going to lie, it still pops up now and then. But one thing that made all the difference was the mental work I did to have my brain learn and understand one thing: my art is enough. There will always be people that are more technically skilled than you, but also less. And you know what? Talent in the art world doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot. Here are 3 things that are more important than talent. ------------ Sign up for my brand new (totally free!) training, Your First Artist Growth Plan here: https://www.liveyourartlife.com/artist-growth-plan

Why You Don't Need Talent To Sell Art

You know you're pretty bomb - an awesome creative with a crazy drive to make beautiful things AND chase a lifestyle that brings you happiness and fulfillment. I'd like to think that I'm part of your tribe too :) I'd love to say that I operate on 100% each moment of each day, constantly pushing forward towards my dreams but - I don't like lying to you. You deserve better. So consider this to be a spot of vulnerability for me. I need a good swift kick in the ass now and then. Some days my motivation is kicking back with a pina colada on a beach in Tulum, while I'm trying my best to hustle so I can get to that same beach in Tulum. But if we all waited until our inspiration and motivation we cheering us on...we'd get nowhere. These are a few ways that I keep myself motivated when my couch & puppy cuddles are calling my name. ------------ Sign up for my brand new (totally free!) training, Your First Artist Growth Plan here: https://www.liveyourartlife.com/artist-growth-plan

Juicy Stories to Tell About Your Latest Painting

We've all been there at some point. You see that "new follower" notification on Instagram, only to see that you've lost a follower. Hello new friend! Buh-bye old friend. Fresh faces are peachy, don't get me wrong, but seeing that number stay stagnant can be a bit of a head-scratcher (and hair-puller-outer). Here's the thing - stagnation is part of the process. If your follower count has flatlined, then you just might be nestled tightly in your little Instagram cocoon, waiting for something to crack your shell so you can evolve. While stagnation can be super frustrating, it can also be kinda fun. Think of it as a challenge. Your old ways have served you well (they got you this far) but now it's time to shake it up and make some new waves in that Instagram pool.

How To Get More Followers On Instagram for Your Art

The art of finishing art. At every art show I have ever exhibited at, I'm always asked this question at least once: "how do you know when a painting is done?" Damn good question, might I say. My work is in a state of flux right now, so it's even harder to tell when it is complete. But completeness is a tricky thing - it's completely subjective and varies through time, altered by experience.  Let's talk about the ebb and flow of creativity, and when to know if a painting is complete.
