Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King

It’s time for another “Ask Me Anything” episode! I’m answering listener questions with my raw, honest opinion on all things art, and your career as an artist.  And while I get a lot of listener questions about ALL KINDS of things, on this week’s episode, I’m digging into some specifics when it comes to pricing and selling your art.  We’ll talk through questions like:  Should you use artists platforms that promise to “do it all for you”? How can you effectively price your art (so it sells for all it’s worth)? How do you deal with scammers when selling art? And of course, plenty more. Don’t forget — if you want to submit your own questions to be featured in my next Ask Me Anything, you can do so on my Patreon: http://patreon.com/honestartpodcast  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

The number one thing holding you back in your art? Self-doubt. That feeling of not-enoughness. That wondering if you’re even a real artist because you didn’t go to art school, you don’t have all the fancy supplies, you’re painting at your kitchen table…I could go on.  It’s time to tell that voice to take a hike, y’all. Our work as artists is too important to be shut down and held back by imposter syndrome. In this episode of The Honest Art Podcast, we’ll dig into things like: Why the fugly stage of your art isn’t a reflection of you as an artist How feelings of worthiness impact your art career (business-wise AND creatively) A few tools to help you break free from imposter syndrome as an artist Let’s get you back to the canvas, my friend.

More specifically, we’ll discuss: How the greats used multiple artistic styles and still found success How my style has shifted in my own art career How flexibility with style helps us make better art Bridging the gap between artists and buyers, and giving both parties what they want (read: so you can keep making money even when your style changes!)

I used to think that because I was introverted, there was no reason to have an art community. I already had the support of friends and family — wasn’t that enough?  The truth is, it wasn’t. Because of us artists? We NEED people who innately understand the creative process and can provide us with constructive feedback to improve our work. We aren’t meant to do this alone.  In this episode, I’ll share more about how joining an art community helped me, and how it can also help you overcome creative ruts and take advantage of new opportunities to propel your career forward.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

I probably don’t have to tell you this, but…social media isn’t giving you the full story.  It’s really easy to play the comparison game when you see people (successfully) selling their art online. I’m guilty of it, too.  The truth is, most artists don’t JUST sell on social media. More than likely, they’re using multiple channels to show their work to potential buyers. It’s never JUST about posting a picture of your work and watching the bids roll in. So, what about you? Are you relying solely on social media to sell your work? Well, then…it’s time to shake it up! Tune in to get a few different ideas for diversifying your artist's income. P.S. This episode is full of some of my best tips for selling your work. Once you’re done listening (and have a better idea of what you want to do next), check out the FULL show notes library to learn more about each idea.

Art validates the human experience. Whether you believe it or not, so does your work (yes, even if you’re just painting for fun!).  Every piece has a story to tell and someone to connect to, so we can’t be afraid to get vulnerable when making art. Someone out there needs the raw, real version of what you have to say.  Your art matters, really.

Talking about your art — why is it always SO difficult? Can’t you just tell people that the piece is what it is, and leave them to admire what they see?  Not quite. While this strategy can work if you’re just having fun with art (nothing wrong with that, by the way), if you want to SELL it, you’ll need to know how to articulate your WHY.  Does the thought of talking about your work terrify you? Make you sweat? Tune in to this episode — I’ve got a few methods that can help break the ice.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

Being an artist is vulnerable work. Slinging paint away in the studio for hours on end, trying to pull what’s in your mind out onto the canvas… It can become heavy after a while.  That’s why we need a community of fellow artists to support us, which is part of why I created my Studio Elite artist mastermind. We aren’t meant to walk this artist’s path alone. Wondering how an artist mastermind could change your approach to your art (or your art biz)? Not sure a mastermind is right for you? Listen to what current Studio Elite members have to say about the community they’ve built and what else they’ve taken away from the program. They’ve had some truly amazing transformations — and they’ve built artist connections that will last for years to come.  . . . Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!

I didn’t start painting because of its mental health benefits. However, it’s been an incredible benefit to my life. From the first painting I finished to slinging paint yesterday morning, art always seems to pull the deepest thoughts and feelings from the back of my mind. Art helps us move emotions and stress out of our bodies. It helps us break past mental blocks and gives us the freedom and space to be our most authentic selves. Art is healing.  But have you ever wondered how? And why should it matter to you as an artist? That’s what I’m answering in this episode of the Honest Art Podcast!

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! I’ve gotten so many messages about how helpful it’s been, so I wanted to bring it back to help even more folks who are new to the Honest Art Podcast. Enjoy!
