Hey it's Antries and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter

podcast. This week I've pulled a few questions that I normally get from my

community to answer here in a podcast episode

so that everyone can benefit.

If you're new to the podcast, welcome.

The Sappy Painter Podcast is the top rated podcast for painters. The Sabby Painter Podcast is the top rated podcast for painters.

And not only that, but get this. The Savvy Painter podcast is in the top 5% of all

podcasts based on a statistical analysis of podcast downloads by Libson.

I am not going to lie.

Of course it is meaningful to be recognized by other educators and podcasters.

But the real reason I've been consistently bringing you episodes for the past six years is because of you.

I know what it's like to be working your butt off in the studio, bringing to life something you believe in and are passionate about. You put your heart and

soul into your work without any guarantee it will be recognized or even appreciated. Being an artist

is hard and it can feel super lonely. It can feel like an act of pure faith sometimes to keep going.

And that's why I do everything I can to make sure that you know you are not alone in your studio. That's also why I bring

you interviews with such a wide range of painters. Artists who are at the beginning of

their journey and artists who've been pushing paint with

remarkable results for decades and decades. And I know I've done my job when I get

messages like this one from Beb in Canada. Bev left a five-star review on Apple Podcast and she had this to say, thank you for keeping

me inspired. There are so many things that I want to thank you for. Interesting and vibrant

interviews, great tips, really good book recommendations, keeping me motivated, and so much more.
