Well, hello there it's Antries, and welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter

Podcast.

Hello, it's Antries, and welcome to another episode of the savvy painter

podcast. You know when I started the savvy painter podcast five years ago I

don't know where the time is gone. There were just a few art and painting-centered

podcasts, but not too many. Now there are a time. So I thought it would be really fun to reach out to a few fellow podcasters and people who serve

artists to find out what they've learned from connecting with so many artists and creatives.

So I asked each of them the same three questions. First, what is one common

thread that you noticed from talking to so many artists? Next I asked what

advice would you give to an emerging artist who sometimes questions their

resolve? And finally, what is the worst advice that you hear given to artists? Not surprisingly, their answers were super varied. And that is what I love about what I do.

I get to bring together many voices of the artist community to share ideas and opinions and have a few laughs along the way.

But before we get started I am super excited to introduce you to a new sponsor of the Sabby Painter Podcast.

When I was in school, I had this instructor Dwight Harmon who encouraged all of us to play

with our materials, pushed their boundaries, combine them, use them in ways that probably, maybe, definitely, they weren't supposed to be.

But Dwight felt like that was how you find the outer limits. You don't know what the boundaries are until you push against them and then you know up there it is.

One of my favorite mediums to play with was Dr. P.H. Martin's Inks and later they're liquid watercolors. It may be a Pavlonian

thing but when I pick up one of their glass jars and squeeze that black dropper to pull the color,

I am instantly back in that classroom wondering what if what

if I do this what if I mix that ooh look at what that does any creative block or

resistance disappears when I pull out my Dr.

P.H. Martin's watercolors.
