335 - Interview with Sara Prentice

This week John and Barb are speaking with artist Sara Prentice.

Sara, an artist and marketing manager at the Strathmore Paper Company, is a Wisconsin native.

With a young child underfoot, Sara discusses her strategies for balancing art, a career, and family life.

She also offers advice for the complete beginner and how to get started acquiring the supplies you need without breaking the bank.

Listen in as she discusses some of her various roles at Strathmore. She shares how you can determine which paper might be best for your art, depending on the medium and your unique approach.

She discusses some of her favorite pencils and materials, and why she typically opts to work on a small scale. She expounds on why choosing not to work large can be more approachable, and how incorporating other mediums into your work can keep your work alive and fresh!
