“London-based artist Alice Sheridan, creates dynamic planes of colour and texture; bold and singular marks intersect swathes of paint, while the rapid brush-marks reflect an energy of application”

(Swipe for the magic…) IG used to feel calming,

(Swipe for the magic…) IG used to feel calming, collaborative and inspirational. Now it feels more like a jarring onslaught…

Yesterday I had a 5hr conversation with an artist friend I met online, through Instagram. We live on different continents so this was the first time we’ve met in person - and it was restorative, fun, inquisitive, open…. All the things I used to love about Instagram. But we also talked about how we’re scrolling - looking for what we used to love here - and no longer finding it.

Not sure what the solution is (yet) but I know it’s not TikTok!! Not for me anyway…

I’m thinking more and more about whether blog “events” or website discussion pages could replace this… but people would have to remember to check - or subscribe for emails… are we just “over” social media?

… I’m not sure… after all we are social beings and we crave and benefit from interaction with fellow creatives. It happens within the membership of course, but I’m wondering if there is another, more open way.

Would love to know:
🤷‍♂️ what you miss
😁 what would feel fabulous for you…

And the rainbow is real and what awaited me as I walked home - a complete one. Nice!

How is drawing part of your art practice? Is it so

How is drawing part of your art practice? Is it something you wish you did more of? Or maybe you feel you're somehow failing as an artist if you don't go everywhere with a sketchbook tucked under your arm!

This week on episode 172 of the Art Juice podcast we turn our attention to the ancient art of drawing and in particular to the question of what makes a good drawing.

We look at what is meant by the word ‘drawing;’ and the different purposes it can fulfil - are you drawing to explore or gather information, for personal enjoyment or to create an artwork in its own right.

Drawing can be a way of searching for clarity, a way to filter our ideas and we discuss the balance between accuracy (eg with perspective and proportion) and the inherent personality a drawing can imbue.

If you want to do more drawing , let's share using #artjuicedrawing this summer

Looking back we have the benefit of hindsight…

Looking back we have the benefit of hindsight…

I’ve always tried to avoid regret. Doing things wrong… hmm? Not so much - we all do that…

but more: having no regrets over things I wish I’d done, but wasn’t bold enough to say yes to. 💪

I think it’s one of the strongest muscles we can practice, to wonder…

What if…?

What if I apply to this show?
What if I try the paint this way?
What if just do something which feels a little braver?

Stretchy comfort zones!

Anyway, restful painting because it’s been a busy day welcoming new artists into the Connected Artist membership and answering questions about joining.

⬆️ find your way up to my bio for the LAST DAY you can say yes and join us.

💥 Just 2 more days to join us inside the Connec

💥 Just 2 more days to join us inside the Connected Artist membership…

As new members join, the biggest reaction is often “wow!” … it’s hard to describe because you get immediate access to everything you need to grow your creative business - and more!

That’s why it’s more than learning “business”, more than social media, or online selling. More than making better creative work…

It’s ALL those things - AND with the understanding of how we operate as artists.

We are sensitive souls and we need to operate from a place which feels genuine and truthful.

A membership makes sense as the place to do it because it’s the nurturing approach that gets the long term results:
* finally feeling your plans are going somewhere
* getting more sales naturally
* becoming a better artist

I’ve seen some comments about not being ready…. this isn’t only for full time professionals.

🤩 If you’re making, showing or thinking of selling your work it’s for you.

If you’re thinking of waiting until next year….. just think what you could do by then (and the price may not stay this low).

⏰ We’re open until Sunday 19th June, hop up to the link in my bio to see the inside video.

Making your art is central to a creative life you

Making your art is central to a creative life you love … and you know you want to take it further.

* you may be still exploring; setting up your work space , establishing a good studio practice… you’re still developing your work but ready to start applying for shows, creating with a website and a mailing list… 
* or you have more sales under your belt and are looking to fine-tune your relationships with buyers and add extra revenue into the mix. 
* maybe you’re already established and experienced, and you recognise you need other artists with the same goals to support you and bounce ideas with.

The Connected Artist Club is the membership to help you.

We have amazing members from the West coast of America to New Zealand, and at all stages of their Artist Path.

I’m away at a family wedding (no painty hands for me today!) but I’ve added some more stories from existing members in the link up in my bio.

I’m going to keep writing about this, because once we close on Sunday that’s it!!

Drop any questions here, and I’ll come back to you.
