Artists. 

Let’s free up our brains and shake off the constraints of painting or producing work for a reason. Developing our work, our skills and our practices comes in so many forms. @gaynorljart is finding freedom in actually using a sketchbook after years of envy and frustration-and @karengeorgeart is sharing her love of outdoor sketching with others, which is fun and freeing too. 

Same, Same But Different. We make the rules. We get to do what works for us. 

Over to you! We invite you to tell us how you rip off the constraints of producing work to discover what else you like… as always, there’s lots more to chat about. 

Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcast
