This week's episode on the Artist Academy Podcast is all about the power of practice.
I’m sharing how I’ve spent over 20,000 hours painting—and why that one thing has made the biggest difference in my skills and career.

From my early college art classes to those 60+ hour weeks painting for Bass Pro Shops, I dive into the moments that helped me grow the fastest. I also talk about the value of guided instruction versus going it alone, and how hitting that 10,000-hour mark changed my confidence and speed with a brush.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to level up as an artist, this episode is for you.
