Hello, my friends, and welcome to another episode of this Happy Painer podcast. If you are new here,

welcome. I'm so glad you found the podcast. And if you've been listening for a while, welcome back.

This is the first of a four-part series. What you are about to listen to is a replay of a live event that I gave

a while back. And gosh, I think it's been about two years already. But I listened to it again

recently and I realized that I just had to share it with you as a podcast episode because this is

powerful, powerful stuff. When you are truly confident in your art as an artist and

in your painting abilities, your entire practice changes. You create more work, you effortlessly

show it, and you engage more with your collectors. It's an upward spiral that just keeps

getting better and better and better as you grow. One last thing before we

begin, I created special worksheets for every single one of these live events when I did them.

So I want to make sure you get those as well. So you get the full experience. So to grab yours,

just go ahead and check out the show notes for this episode. There will be a link

to pick up your worksheet for this episode. Okay, so let's just dive in. So today's call is

focused on creative confidence. One of my favorite things to talk about, a self-confident

artist is going to think that they are good, they are capable, they are worthy,

they're going to think they're strong, they're going to think they're competent.

A self-confident artist knows that it's okay to fail.

And so they take risks.

We learn from our mistakes and we grow more

quickly. We do like as we develop this capacity, we learn to grow. We learn to do things for

ourselves faster and easier. So that's our topic for today. You all probably know who I am. You likely recognize my

voice, but you have not met me before. I'm Anne Trees with. I'm the host of this Abby Painter
