It's different from our past ones because in this one, we picked out all the advice in a step-by-step, chronological manner that would best help you get your artistic career started. We begin with tips about the importance of creating good work, finding a mentor to help you improve, continuous practice, and above all, painting what you love and what matters most to you. Then we move on to the importance of living below your means and having good financial support such as getting a day-job to help support you as you learn to paint and build your portfolio. Once you've built up a good repertoire of work, you can join communities, build your network, apply to exhibitions, and consider reaching out to galleries. Just as important, of course, is making sure you have a beautiful website, social media channels to upload your work, and continue to build relationships with fellow artists. Finally, our past guests remind us of the importance of treating your craft like a business and also to never forget why you began painting in the first place. We hope this episode can enlighten our listeners and be a guiding light to anyone who wishes to follow the path of the artist!Episodes mentioned on the episode (in order of appearance):74 Arthur Gain142 Grace DeVito92 Blair Atherholt107 Rob Rey40 Susan Lyon64 Oliver Sin47 Eric Armusik96 Brienne Brown118 Shuang Li127 Jill Basham85 Stephanie Birdsall90 Raul Campos123 Michael Orwick94 Karen Blackwood64 Oliver Sin101 Joseph Gyurcsak98 Warren Chang97 Elizabeth Robbins117 Poppy Balser138 Michelle Dunaway127 Jill Basham
