This week on the pod Julie’s household has been hit by yet another bout of illness, causing her to fret over more missed studio time. Phoebe debriefs Julie on how her first ‘Sip and Paint’ art workshop went… and it brings up some profound realisations about why she has avoided teaching for so long. Julie realised she may now not be able to complete as many artworks for her exhibition, but shares a podcast she listened to that had a positive impact on the way she viewed this - realising that its only her that cares about the number of artworks, and the importance of enjoying the process rather than becoming stressed over a fixed outcome. Then they move on to answering listener questions, and share their advice on topics ranging from studio lighting and creating engaging instagram posts, to overcoming creative block and getting over the fear of getting crickets when you share your work.
Enjoy!

I gotta listen to this one, but I am popping on to share I have the same lights as Phoebe! They are awesome. I’m getting some glare though which isn’t an issue until I’m filming a WIP.
Love love love your podcast. Thank you for sharing all the show notes. And oh my gosh, clearly I make the same face too when working on details. 😜
