316 - What Is Your Art Limit?

This week John is discussing how art limits are just limiting beliefs that happen in our minds.

Until the 4-minute mile was achieved no one thought it was possible. But after that record was broken, it nearly became a standard for running athletes.

314 - New Printable Colored Pencil Color Charts

This week John and Barb are talking a brand new printable colored pencil charts! This is a valuable resource to help colored pencil artists create swatches of all the colors for all their pencils!

Barb is the creator of these printable charts. She created them due to an outpouring of requests from listeners and readers of her blog.

What makes these charts so different from any you may already be familiar with is their beautiful design and the valuable information provided in the chart!

Each chart provides a quick reference to the color, the lightfast rating, and the name and number designation.

No more dealing with a separate “test” sheet of paper to try and figure out the color moments before you begin using the pencil. Instead, once you’ve completed your chart you’re able to refer back to it year after year.

The special listener coupon code is:   sharpart20   

to get 20% off the single charts.

The charts are available at: https://payhip.com/BarbSotiArt?af=af60da3dce31c55
