Show Notes: A Day In The Life

“. . . the best artists know that it’s never about emulating someone’s techniques, but it’s about getting their art closer to who they are and what they wish to say. So it’s taking something of ourselves, flaws and all, and showing it to the world.”

John takes a slice of his life as an artist and shares the truth about what that looks like. If you are planning to become a full time working artist in the future then don’t miss this episode.

Even if art is a hobby, there are times that you may feel the need to travel somewhere more “exotic” than right where you are. The next great reference might be in your own back yard.

Also be sure and grab a reference photo of the Mail Pouch Tobacco barn to draw from!
