In episode 2, we chat about the basics needed to take your Instagram post from average to noteworthy. We talk about how you can follow a few simple rules to entice people to want to open your posts to read more and hopefully follow you. Note: we may mention cows during the course of this conversation....

We also touch on a subject that we see many people dealing with, and that is how to go from a corporate career to an art based one, and this is something we'll be talking about in more depth over the coming weeks.

Our Insta favourites this week are @abanwell_art who Nikki chose for her beautiful pencil drawings of greyhounds and @staceymooreartist who Jill chose for her interesting route of opening a pop up art shop in Yorkshire UK - both fabulous artists, go give them a follow

Hello, and welcome to Life and Pencils Podcast. This is the light-hearted podcast for aspiring artists who are looking to grow their art business and be part of a supportive and growing community. We want you to feel that this is your podcast, so please get involved!

In this episode, we touch on some of the topics we'll be covering over the coming weeks. We also give you a little background on ourselves too. We may even go off-topic occasionally... and tend to laugh. A lot.

We're not aiming to give you technical 'art advice' - after all, there are plenty of other places to find that! Our aim is for you to enjoy listening to us, whilst learning various aspects of running an art business. We hope to give some advice in hopefully an easy-to-understand way!

We'll also talk about art we've seen recently, that we feel is worth a mention, and hopefully we'll be interviewing successful artists too. Let us know who you would like us to talk to and we'll do our best to track them down. We'll try to find out how they 'made it' in the art world and what 'top tips' they would pass on via our podcast to all of you aspiring artists.

Remember, this is your podcast. If you would like to ask us anything specific, or would like us to include a particular topic in our forthcoming podcasts, or a regular feature even, please let us know, either using the Contact Form on this website, or by popping into the Life and Pencils Facebook Group. Come and say hello!
