Description

Do you hoard your art supplies? Do you buy the "good stuff" and then find yourself waiting for the "perfect" time to use it? I do!! I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that I'm not the only person who does this. I've been working on it and have 5 ideas to share with you.
I think it's usually my inner perfectionist that emerges and stops me from using my favorite art supplies. I will perpetually wait for the right time, wait the best idea to emerge, or delay until my skill level increases a bit more... you name it, I've used all the excuses in the book. I've been working on this and trying to use some strategies in my art practice to get myself using my favorite art supplies again. Today on this episode, I'm first going to do a deep dive into understanding why I hoard my art supplies and find myself instinctually holding back from using them. Next, I'll share 5 different ways I've addressed this myself and how I made a change. I took off the pressure of perfection and started using the art supplies that bring me joy.

What do Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and I have in common? We're all self taught artists. I stumbled around in the dark as I started my artistic journey... I didn't know what paints to buy, how to varnish my work, or the differences between painting mediums. The mission of the Self Taught Artist podcast is to help artists (and aspiring artists) learn and fully discover the joy of making art. We will cover everything from the basics of painting, to how to sell your work, and beyond.
