    For today's episode, we sat down with Ginny Butcher, a Wyoming-based artist who fell in love with the natural beauty there as well as the adorable cows roaming the pastures. She tells us about her artistic journey which has been characterized by perseverance, overcoming internal doubts, and learning to embrace her unique artistic voice. She initially struggled with the idea of being a full-time artist, experiencing burnout and uncertainty, but eventually found her stride by remembering to take time away from painting in order to re-charge. Ginny reminds us that the gift we have as artists comes from the desire to continue pursuing our passion and not necessarily from being naturally good at drawing or painting. She also tells us about her artistic process which involves careful planning, including creating thumbnails and studies before starting a final painting, and she emphasizes the importance of understanding fundamental techniques. She discusses her marketing strategy that centers around a weekly email newsletter that connects personally with subscribers which has also helped her successfully build a career over the past 20 years. Finally, Ginny tells us about an ambitious project she's currently undertaking and her upcoming shows!

    For today's episode, we sat down with Keith Bond, a landscape artist who primarily focuses on painting scenes from nature, with a strong emphasis on plein air sketching as a research and reference tool for his studio work. He believes in the importance of painting from life to develop fundamental artistic skills, stressing that understanding principles like value, composition, and color provides a foundation for creative expression. Throughout his career, Keith has learned to approach plein air painting as a way to capture the essence of color, light, and atmosphere, rather than creating finished pieces, and uses these sketches as references for more contemplative studio paintings. His artistic journey began with a love for art in school, and he transitioned to being a full-time artist with the support of his wife, navigating the challenges of an art career through discipline and continuous learning. Keith advocates for building personal relationships with clients, maintaining an email newsletter, and having a strong website as key marketing strategies for artists. Finally, Keith reminds us of the value of constraints in fostering creativity and encourages aspiring artists to paint from life, return to fundamental principles, and understand that creativity is a dialogue between the left and right brain hemispheres.

    On today's episode, we sat down with Kyle Stuckey, a full-time impressionistic realist oil painter based in Charleston, South Carolina. He tells us about his unorthodox journey into art, starting in his late teens and eventually becoming immersed in the Putney painters group, which greatly influenced his development. He discusses the challenges and rewards of being a full-time artist, including the need for resilience and the evolving role of social media in marketing. He advises aspiring artists to be dedicated and willing to experiment, while also reminding them of the importance of consistency. He also advises us to nurture relationships with collectors and galleries. Finally, Kyle tells us about his upcoming workshops and an upcoming gallery show featuring his new work!
