Welcome back to another episode of the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast.

This fortnight we are having a little catch up about what is going on in both Ros and Laura’s art lives. In this quite chatty episode - listen in to hear us debrief about situations that have arisen for us lately.

Laura shares about a recent decision not to follow through on an opportunity to have an open studio. Ros raises the question - why as creatives is it difficult to say no after saying yes to a project? Breaking a commitment can be hard. Laura affirms to herself and the audience that “Its okay to say that you are not going to do something” especially if it doesn't feel in alignment. 

Ros shares about a recent opportunity that she was presented with to participate in an exhibition. Laura posed a question to Ros “Are you going to be able to produce the work that you want to produce with that timeline?”

It led to an interesting discussion around saying yes or no to opportunities in your art journey. Laura mentions that decisions are made with putting self care first. 

Ros updated us on her successful in person workshop in her new studio space, and her recent photography branding session. Before the session with the photographer - Laura had shared tips with Ros for what to do before the photography session such as: Get a close up headshot, another photo sitting in a chair in front of her work, get all her materials and paint mixing supplies out, choosing artwork that is in your branding colours and making a pinterest board. 

Ros talked about her desire to be planning for the new year as well as a topic for a future episode on : “Pricing your work” - so look out for that one! We went over valuing what you are worth and being paid fairly. 

Ros shares about her art for the heart membership she has been working on a sample artwork for her monthly painting project for her members. Laura  mentions that she is taking it easy at this stage in her art business. 

We hope that you enjoy the show!
