In today’s art podcast  we’re going to chat about art resistance and how to resist it! What is art resistance: Art resistance is very different to art block, it’s a much more temporary thing. It’s the procrastination side of not making art. Like when you have a day when you plan to paint and then find 100 different things you can do before you actually make a start.

Welcome to today's episode, which is all about taking part in an art show. We are doing this now as Sandra did an art exhibition a few years ago with a friend and Tara recently did a stall at an art and craft show. We are definitely not experts but can share what we learned as beginners.

Today’s art podcast is at the request of one of our listeners, Debora. It is all about abstract art. Although neither of us are pure abstract painters, Tara paints semi abstract faces and we both have an appreciation for abstract art.  Shownotes Shownotes for this episode  https://kickinthecreatives.com/abstract-art/ Our Sponsor Evolve Art This podcast is sponsored by Evolve.

Today’s art podcast is an unusual one. All we know, is that we have both been going through an art block and instead of talking about it between ourselves as we’d normally do, we thought we would save our chat and share it with you. Mainly because we try to keep things real on here. And the reality is, that not all art comes easily and not all artists always feel like painting.

Our art podcast guest today is Megan Auman. Megan is an artist, metalsmith teacher, writer, and business coach. In addition to making and selling her jewelry, she helps artists and makers grow their businesses through her books, online classes, and coaching. Now, after Megan reached out to us, I read her book, Try It and See it's all about mindset shifts to help creatives get things done. I loved the the book. It was a real kick up the creatives for me. And so I was curious to hear more from her. So I really hope you enjoy the show.

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about A.I. (artificial intelligence) for artists. When Tara suggested this topic, I was not keen. Frankly I’ve always been wildly opposed to AI, for so many reasons, and to be honest, I still am, and I’ll go in to the reasons why later on. But, I can’t deny, despite my huge reservations, I do recognise that it can be really useful for some people.   Shownotes: https://kickinthecreatives.com/aiforartists Our Sponsor Evolve Art This podcast is sponsored by Evolve.
