Bill tells us all about his beginnings as a touring musician, how he started a financial business, and then later became a full-time artist. He reminds us of the importance of working a day-job you actually enjoy while you build up your art career, proper gallery etiquette so you always have a good relationship with your gallery, and why you shouldn't try to find your voice and instead let it come on its own as you create more paintings. He also recounts the importance of being curious about other things outside of painting and art because it may just tie in perfectly into your work. Finally, Bill tells us about his upcoming demos at the International Association of Pastel Societies and at the Plein Air Convention.Bills's FASO Site:https://www.schneiderart.com/Bill's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/williamschneiderfineartBill's awesome YouTube channel!https://www.youtube.com/@williamschneiderfineart7193https://pleinairconvention.com/https://www.iapspastel.org/The Schneider Ross Band:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWnLwyHsoocGOO0ruddrD1Q
