57: Cars, Coconuts, and Letting Go of Perfection with France Van Stone

Mike continues his work with watercolor by painting a tractor and some bees and then he draws some rocks. France Van Stone then joins the podcast to share her creative journey. France has been able to carry her passion for art through her life while working full-time as a French teacher. She talks about the influence of living near a large car manufacturer in France when she was younger and the lovely accidents along the way that shape our art. They explore the tools, materials, and approaches she has used to develop her work. They also talk about the impact of social media on creating and sharing and services like Micro.blog and owning your own content.  Danny Gregory (book “Creative License”) R60 Motorcycle with Alvin BIC Pen Pentel Alvin Chong Liz Steel Moleskine Sketchbook Blick Smooth Bristol paper Procreate Brushes Micro.blog Sketch! (Book) Procreate Paper Linea Happs.tv The Boneyard Christine The Car ===== How to reach France van Stone ===== Instagram (@wagonized) Sketch! (Book) Web site Procreate Brushes ===== How to reach Mike Hendley ===== MikeHendley.com Instagram @Mike_Hendley Twitter @MikeHendley Show notes at DrawingInspiration.fm ===== Want to Support the Podcast ??? ===== Support "Drawing Connections" on Substack Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts Share the podcast with friends and family Podcast theme music is “Acid Jazz” By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
