6. The 4 Hats of Artists in Business
All. The. Hats. How many hats do you wear in your creative art and business? This episode breaks down an overview of the different roles in any business and how to think about the big picture.
5. Walk the Path
Every teacher uses the idea of steps, a stairway, a path forward. In this episode, I explore this idea to understand why we are so intrigued and motivated by steps, and look at what it means for artists - especially as you set goals and think about your business, your future, and your art.
4. Make Decisions
Kandinsky said, “Everything Starts with a Dot.” So it is with making decisions around your art and your business.
3. Create an Atmosphere
How do you create the atmosphere in your mind, your studio - and your business - that you want to create. Isn't this why we make art, after all? When you can do this as an artist, you've started on the path of understanding the power of art to transform emotions and lives.
2. Why Metaphor Matters
We think, write and paint in metaphor. What is this magical ability, and why don’t we even realize it is happening in us all the time?
1. The Setup
How do you set up your studio - and your mind - to create? Monet painted 30 versions of this church in his Rouen Cathedral series. He kept at it until he had reached his goal - a great lesson to take a look at as you approach any project.
