112. How to create a compelling and cohesive body of artwork
OPTION 1: LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
OPTION 2: WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO
In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to create a compelling and cohesive body of artwork. This episode audio was taken from the second half of my latest YouTube video titled “Studio Morning + How to kickstart a compelling body of artwork”. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been putting in lots of time learning how to make beautiful YouTube videos over the past couple of months and I’m really enjoying sharing with you in this format.
I’m still on a steep learning curve with this, but I feel so creatively drawn in this direction that I’ve decided to unfold it a bit more. So, while I think the audio for this podcast is still helpful as it is, I do refer to the visuals I’m discussing quite a bit in the video quite a bit, so be sure to pop on over to my YouTube channel if you’d like to see what I am referring to. I’ll make sure I link it in the show notes.
Not included in this podcast is a lovely, cozy, relaxing and dare I say it, cinematic video sequence at the start of the accompanying youtube video. It shows you what I get up to before I hit the studio in the morning and then a lovely little painting session that will hopefully bring peace and inspiration to your day. So really hope you pop on over after the podcast episode and check out that new juicy little bit. While you’re there, be sure to leave me a comment and subscribe to my channel so that you don’t miss the next one.
In this episode, I talked about:
How to create a cohesive and compelling body of work that showcases your unique style and execution skills.
Cohesiveness and confidence in your work are important for galleries and buyers.
Separate bodies of work I’ve been working on over the last six weeks: mixed media landscapes and a new direction in botanical work.
Experiments with working on panels, specifically ACM panels with linen adhered to the top, and timber panels.
The importance of trying out different ideas and techniques to fully explore concepts.
The importance of allowing oneself the freedom to explore ideas and put them aside if they do not work, and the relief it brings.
