#109 It's A Finesse Thang

Sergio talks about his course and being in teaching-mode and how that affects his painting. Josh talks about nearing the finish line of the work for his upcoming show in November. We answer a ton of your listener questions this week too!  Some of the questions answered: (23:35) Do you make 5-year plans or just go with the flow? (38:42) Do birds have fun? (45:43) What’s a subject matter you dislike painting? (51:05) What is most fun in your process? (1:03:15) Is there a reason to what seems like you solely using women as subjects in your work? (1:18:05) Do you have favorite easy foods to make while painting? (1:27:48) Having this platform, do you ever worry about getting canceled in this cancel-culture world? (1:37:20) Why doesn’t Josh start his own pencil company and make millions? (1:43:11) Do you ever have the urge to put all of your creative energy into one style or body of work? (1:51:12) How did you realize that you can make a living off of your art? How did you start? (2:03:00) How do you stay motivated while doing the busy work admin part of being an artist?  We also rip on the documentary, “The Price Of Everything” and praise Jeffrey Catherine Jones’s documentary “Better Things.” Sign up for any of Sergio’s three workshops at www.themainloop.com!
