Today, we sat down with Carolyn Anderson, an artist with a passion for capturing the essence of what she sees and expressing it in an impressionistic and poetic manner. She is also someone who has dived deep into trying to comprehend how visual language affects how we paint and how to use visual language as a tool to create artwork that compels the viewer to look closer. In this episode, we dive into some of Carolyn's fascinating research into visual language, she also gives us excellent advice for how to improve your work, and what she believes is the most underrated element in painting that no one considers. Finally, we talk about her amazing notebook on her website where she shares all of her fascinating insights on painting as well as visual language.

In this episode, we discuss Scott's journey as an artist, his artistic process and how experimentation can lead you to new artistic processes, and why it's so important to follow your passion as an artist not only for your own work, but also to help develop your artistic voice. We also talk about ways of supplementing your income as an artist, why living below your means is so important to producing great work without pressure, and the benefits of using social media as well as the drawbacks.

For today's episode, we've compiled several moments in the podcast where we have discussed branding. Before we dive in, I'd like to clarify that in the realm of art, branding entails crafting a distinct identity for an artist through unique visual styles, thematic elements, and the embodiment of personal values. The goal is to stand out in the art community, create a positive and memorable impression, and cultivate a dedicated following. Successful artist branding involves consistent expression, a strong artistic identity, and the development of a unique artistic voice. In other words, your artwork is an extension of your overall brand. Of course, not every tip will work for everyone, but it's good to know what other successful artists have done so you can try it out yourself and see what works for you. All of the guests mentioned in the episode are linked in the show notes as well as their respective episodes so you may go listen to them if you'd like. We hope that hearing their stories will inspire you all in this new year!

On today's episode, we sat down with Tony Pro, a Western realist artist with a deep love for the West and with deep roots in it as well. Tony tells us all about his education as an illustrator and the advantages illustration affords realist painters like him, why knowing how a gallery works inside and out is necessary if you want to sell your work with one, and why being an artist is all about improvising, overcoming, and adapting both in the canvas and outside of the canvas business-wise. Finally he tells us about his online art academy Zarolla, and the upcoming Night of Artists Show at the Briscoe Museum in March 2024.
