Summary

This one is a biggie... What does it mean to find our voice as an artist? How do we discover what we want to create? Especially as that may change over time.

After a week of admin Louise believes the answer lies in following what you love. To do that you need to learn to play, which is something many people struggle with. 

Alice wonders what happens when you enjoy the process, but not the end result? She believes you may need to let go of some ‘rules’ so that you can  discover your own questions; questions that will guide your art as you develop your process.

If this is something you would like to explore, then join Louise for her "Find your Joy" FREE mini course which kicks off on 2nd August 

We also discuss a listener question about what size paintings work best for galleries.... can you guess what we have to say about that?!

Having said that, we're going to give you our opinion anyway. Hello everybody and welcome back to Art Juice, honest, generous and humorous conversations that will feed your creative soul and get you thinking,

0:25.8

hopefully, with me Alice Sheridan and me Louise Fletcher.

0:30.6

We are going to talk this week about finding a way you love to paint pretty much I think.

0:41.0

And then we're going to jump into almost the complete opposite and we've

0:46.6

got an audience question about what what paintings you should do to keep galleries happy. So I think this is going to be quite an interesting

0:54.9

two-sided conversation, so let's see where it goes. Before we get into that though, how has your week been?

1:01.1

What have you been working on? It's been good, but I've had to accept

1:06.5

that I'm not going to paint much this week or much at all for the next few weeks. And I was getting

1:12.3

a bit down and I think once I accepted it I'm

1:15.0

staffing to feel better and I've managed to find an hour here and there to paint

1:20.0

but I'll talk about that later but I have to I realized with a bit of a shock in the middle of the night a couple of days ago that it's only three weeks until I start a free taste of course which leads into my find your joy course and I am not

1:37.3

ready I'm not ready in marketing plans not I've been doing things but I just

1:41.9

realized all of a sudden eek I've got so much to do.

1:45.4

So I've been getting all that organized and sorted out and just accepting that this is not painting

1:52.4

time for me.

1:54.0

And the good thing is once I teach the course,

1:56.0

part of the course is that I film myself painting every week,

2:00.0

so I do get a lot of painting timing actually during the course so I just have to accept it.

2:07.0

So I'm in the opposite of you because I think you've been in a painting frenzy from what I can see.

2:13.0

Yeah, we're on opposite sides of the coin again a little bit, so it's been quite fun.

2:18.0

But I just wonder about that there, how much,

2:21.0

is that because you're super busy doing all the things or just because you're in a position
