233 The Intuitive Approach to Colored Pencil

Show Notes

Sharpened Artist: Colored Pencil Podcast

Topic: The Intuitive Approach to Colored Pencil

Points of Interest:

There are two approaches to art: Intuitive and Planning. Last week, John and Barb chatted about the Planning method to colored pencil, which seems to be the more prevalent approach. In today’s episode, you’ll discover why intuition can play more of a role in colored pencil than you may think! One of the key components is choosing the right materials to support an intuitive process (and how doing so has actually made John a more confident artist).

226 How to Return to Art After a Tragedy

 Show Notes

Sharpened Artist: Colored Pencil Podcast

Topic: How to Return to Art After a Tragedy

Points of Interest:

John recently lost a close loved one, something many (if not most) people can relate to. He spends the duration of this episode discussing some concrete strategies for getting back into the swing of art after a tragedy:

-Acknowledge that you can only control your own response and actions.

-Bring a sketchbook with you everywhere.

-Lean on those around you. Allow yourself to be vulnerable.

-If you feel like you can’t create art, perhaps you’re not allowing yourself to fully feel the emotions you’re experiencing!

-Give yourself a break, but don’t allow yourself to give up. Continue to do something.
