This episode goes out to all the representational artists out there. Whether you paint chickens, cows, cars, or flowers, I hate to break it to you, but your work is probably missing one REALLY important thing…. YOU! As a representational artist, it’s so easy to get swept up into creating a perfect piece. But the truth is, if you want to elevate and enhance what’s on the canvas, and make it, well, not boring AF, you’re going to need to infuse your own unique perspective into it.  How can you do that? That’s what I’ll be talking about in this episode! Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing! And don’t forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.
