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!

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

This fortnight, Laura and Ros dive into the reasons why you may not be making as much art as your heart desires. We get it. Life happens! Prioritisation is challenging and being aware of your sneaky inbuilt ability to procrastinate is a real life struggle!

We chat about what we are each facing in regards to finding the time and emotional space to create. Laura shares how blocking time out in her calendar may not be the best approach for her and suggests that the way she creates may need a different solution.

We also share a number of ways to tackle this challenge and to finally make room for the art practice that you need and deserve. So, tune in and we hope that you enjoy the Show!

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

This fortnight we are sharing some ideas with you for building a creative community. Laura shares how building a creative community around her has helped to keep her motivated and inspired. She discusses Julia Cameron's concept of a “Believing Mirror” - someone that recognises your gifts and reflects your strengths back to you as well as believing in your potential.

Ros raises the point of artists being sensitive and emotional, and we talk about how surrounding yourself with support really helps. That's why we thought we should share some tips on how we have built community.  

Here is our list of 12 ideas to help you to build creative community:

1. Look to local facebook groups connected to a creative community group

Ros also mentions that you don't have to do all of these steps and it is just a list of ideas - just to relieve a bit of pressure… We hope that these ideas can help you feel less alone on your creative journey!

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

This fortnight we discuss journaling for artists. From stream of consciousness journaling (inspired by the wonderful Julia Cameron and The Artist’s Way) to visual art process journals, we discuss the lot.

We chat about the idea of self nurturing through journaling and stepping into the role of mother or higher self as you write, listening to your challenges and responding with love, wisdom and unconditional support.

Laura shares how she uses process journaling to document her art-making process so that she can replicate beautiful colours in the future and work smoothly through her commission projects.

We also unpack how journaling helps us to quieten our inner critics and give us confidence in our artmaking.

We hope that you enjoy the show!

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

This fortnight we are rewinding back in time to Pre-Christmas, when Ros was madly painting Christmas baubles and getting ready for the markets. Ros talks about how she is in a high energy phase in her art business by testing the market with new ideas for putting her art out into the world. 

Laura taking things a little bit slower for the silly season and sitting back and re-assessing her next steps forward in her creative business. She has come to realise that for her energy to be sustainable she needs big periods of rest after completing a big project. They both discuss taking time out in your business for reflection and journalling. Ros talks about being a mother, how she doesnt “stop” and rest lives within a “dreamspace” for her in her busy life. 

Laura talks about a really positive art therapy session that she recently did, and raises her desire to make more time to do art therapy for her own self care. Ros brings up scheduling time for both of their own personal art practice. Both Ros and Laura contemplate how they might prioritise time for themselves during their week to work on their own art. Ros talks about how she spends a lot of her energy and time in fostering creativity in others, because she has seen the benefits of art for herself that she is excited to share. 

Laura proposes they both make a commitment of 10 mins of art with no purpose in their week - for self care, fun, play and exploration. Ros jokes about how Laura has flipped her business around and explains how this discussion has led to allowing her to “give herself permission to paint” which is what Ros shares with her students.

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

This fortnight we chat about the creative dream and how to get started on your dream. We share a little about our stories and pick out some specific tips to help you on your own journey.

We chat about the fact that committing to a creative path either as a hobby or career can be challenging due to common societal beliefs, but when aspiring creatives take time to look at their personal values, their big picture priorities, their wellbeing and visualise the life that they want to lead, the art dream is possible.

Ros shares how she made room for painting when her children were younger. She talks through the practicalities and together Laura and Ros explore the importance of prioritising your personal interests and building a community of believers.

• Why being a rebel is a good thing

Welcome back to another episode of the Paint, Rest, Repeat Podcast. This fortnight Ros and Laura talk about feeling vulnerable when putting something new out into the world and we both unpack our insecurities and where we each believe it stems from. Laura shares how her auto-immune condition Lupus has played into her insecurities and Ros shares how she has come to accept herself, by embracing as she says “messy me”.

We chat about the importance of moving forward in our art practice and Laura discusses the concept of “Practice over perfection” when starting out on your creative journey and how showing up repeatedly helps us to gain confidence. Ros has a similar motto “Progress over perfection” as well as “popping a brave pill” encouraging beginner artists to just keep moving forward.

We discuss how this art journey ties into our personal development journey uncovering all the broken parts of ourselves and nurturing the inner little artist child. We hope that you find some gems of wisdom and enjoy the Show!
