Episode 124: Avoid My Mistakes: 7 Art Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner

I didn’t go to art school, and I learned a LOT the hard way. When I picked up a paintbrush at 35, I had no training, no YouTube tutorials, and no clue what I was doing. Which meant I learned everything through trial, error, and a mountain of fugly canvases.

In this episode of the Honest Art® Podcast, I share the 7 lessons I wish I had known sooner. The ones that would have saved me years of struggle and helped me create stronger work right from the beginning.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your paintings, this episode will help you move past the struggle and into the flow … much faster than I did.
