Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King

You may be ready to sell your art…but is your art ready to be sold?  It’s easy for artists to get caught up in the magic of creating our best work, but we can’t forget the logistics, too. Especially if we want to make a living from our art. Selling your art requires knowing a few things about your ideal buyers AND what makes art sellable. And no, “good art” isn’t what sells.  Tune in to hear how to change your approach to selling your art based on your audience, and why you need a story to connect collectors to the right piece for them.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

I get it, pricing your art is an uncomfortable topic for a lot of artists.  You’re worried people won’t buy the higher, but fair, price, so you lowball yourself over and over — until one day, you realize you’re not making any money from this gig!  Being an artist isn’t all about the money, but hey, those paintbrushes aren’t going to buy themselves! So to take some of that unknown out of the pricing equation (literally and figuratively), we’re talking about how to price your art in this episode! We’ll cover:  Simple, practical, and easy ways to generate a fair price for your art How to keep the buyer, collector, AND you, the artist, happy with the price How to push past doubt when it comes to selling your work NOTE: This episode is a rerun of Episode 14. Why am I running it again? Because y’all got SO MUCH out of it!

Artists need good copywriting. But just because it's business doesn’t mean it has to be boring.  To prove it, I’ve brought in another one of my team members, Latasha Doyle to talk about ALL things content and copy.  What we talk about in this episode is mission-critical when it comes to selling your art.

Like forging your mom’s signature on your report card, your artist's signature cannot be copied or replicated. It may look great to you, but others can tell it is not unique.   So, instead of trying to mimic what others are doing, it’s time we find our own style so our most authentic art can shine through.  How can you do that?

Size matters…with your art.  So many artists think that just because they have a little skin in the game, they also need to size up their work. But that’s not true AT ALL.  Size doesn’t necessarily equate to success. In fact, there’s a lot to consider before you start creating bigger pieces of work, and it may not be right for you depending on what kind of business you want to run.  But if you’re curious about working with bigger canvases, and getting them to sell, this episode is for you!

Feeling uninspired? Find yourself comparing your work to others? Does art feel more like a chore than your lifeblood? Well, y’all…those are tell-tell signs of needing an artist’s detox.  But it doesn’t involve rehab. Actually, it’s going to be WAY more fun! In this episode, we’ll unpack some of the root causes of feeling “meh” when it comes to your art. Then, I’ll show you how to “detox” and work past it with nature, music, and exploration.  Let’s get your spark back, shall we?  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

This episode goes out to all the representational artists out there. Whether you paint chickens, cows, cars, or flowers, I hate to break it to you, but your work is probably missing one REALLY important thing…. YOU! As a representational artist, it’s so easy to get swept up into creating a perfect piece. But the truth is, if you want to elevate and enhance what’s on the canvas, and make it, well, not boring AF, you’re going to need to infuse your own unique perspective into it.  How can you do that?

On this episode, I’m challenging the notion that, in order to be happy, we have to have the things we want. Instead, what if we focused on being the person who made those things possible?  As artists, we’re so often holding ourselves back from happiness because we don’t “have” our goals yet. We don’t have a gallery show, we don’t have collectors, we don’t have a daily creative practice. The reality is, though, that we have to work on ourselves to make sure we’re the person who can make those goals a reality.  We can’t find satisfaction with our art (or our lives!) until we settle the score with ourselves. We have to BE the person who can achieve those goals we set for ourselves. Not sure what I mean or how you can flip the script from “having” to “being”? That’s what we cover in this episode, along with challenging your goals (why have you set them?) and figuring out WHO you need to be to attain those goals. This is a juicy one, so don’t miss out!  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing! And don’t forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.

What does it mean when a piece of art “has it”? When you hear people say, “I get it”? To someone who doesn’t understand abstract art, it can feel like everyone else is speaking a language you don’t — but I’m here to break down what makes abstract art great. The truth is, abstract art is about so much more than technique and skill. They’re important, sure, but there’s something much greater at play. It all comes down to doing the inside work before you get to work on the canvas. It’s about sharing the message that only you can share!  That’s what can make abstract art speak directly to people — even when there’s nothing “physical” represented on the canvas. But how can you, as an artist, tap into your most-important message and share it on a canvas? That’s what I’ll be talking about in this episode,  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing! And don’t forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.

What’s keeping you stuck? Is it your fear of failure? Or your fear of success?  Or maybe — and hear me out on this one — it’s the fear of something else entirely. Something we’re using “fear” and “success” as a blanket term for when really it’s a bigger, more personal, more important concern.  On this episode of the show, I’m talking about why the fear of success and the fear of failure as an artist stems from something so much deeper — and I’ll be showing you how to discover what that means for YOU.

When I first picked up the paintbrush, I had no idea how much art would one day impact my life. At first, painting was just a fun hobby, a way to add some me time in my life. I didn’t know that it would SAVE my life.  The truth is, though: Art heals. Not just mentally, but physically, too. In this episode of the Honest Art Podcast, I want to talk about why.  Even if you’ve never even so much as touched paint or drawn a stick figure before, you’re going to want to listen to this one!

There’s nothing quick and easy about abstract expressionist art.  We MUST avoid falling into the trap of thinking that our most honest art can come in “5 minutes or less.” This isn’t a hot and ready pizza — this is FINE art.  Still, staring at a blank canvas can get frustrating. But that rut may be because you’re making one of the 10 mistakes I’m sharing in this episode. Trust me, avoiding these abstract art mistakes can make all the difference in your art — and can help you get your groove back so you create your best work.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

What do you think makes your work unique as an artist? Is it the style you paint in, like abstract work or oil pastel paintings? Or is it something much deeper than that? I’ll spoil this one for you: It’s so much deeper than your “style.” What makes your artwork unique is your voice, the thing that is pulled through any type of art you create. From style to style and medium to medium, your voice is the commonality between it all. But what IS your voice and how do you find it so you can create your most honest art? I’m digging into all of that in this episode.   Listen in to hear: How to stop caring what others (and yourself) think about your work Where to find inspiration and how to recognize what you might already be inspired by How to find your voice and how to use it Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!
