Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-5t5w2-11ef25e Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss Stephanie's answer a listener question "what was the best piece of advice" and then we added "what was the worst piece of advice"! If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at hello@artistssoar.com Key talking points: Stephanie's best advice she received was to use her cell phone to convert the image to black and white to see the values better. Another app is called "Grid Painter" which helps you see black and white and reduces the number of values Julie's best advice received was "People buy your joy" by Lila Rodgers. Rachel's best advice from Jennifer Redstreake was "paint what you see" because everyone sees things differently. Worst Advice: Stephanie's someone said to buy the cheapest paint because you'll over paint. Instead buy good paint like Williamsburg Paint, Old Holland, and Gamblin, because it is high-quality paint, Polychromos, Prisma colors. The same applies for the other brands. Julie's bad advice that she received was "just put it out there". Instead of just putting it out there, Julie only posts things she doesn't have any reservations about - she only posts what she's proud of. Good enough for everyone else is not good enough for you. Do you pull off pieces that you are no longer proud of? Julie doesn't because it is too difficult to do it. Pulled stuff from my website - yes. Rachel's worst piece of advice was to send the Star Wars people images of her artwork to see if they would allow her to sell them. What do you do with archived/old pieces that you aren't proud of? Stephanie and Julie - start fresh. The old pieces showed where we were and were lessons learned. Get back to the fun, not every piece needs to be monetized. You don't have to sell the work if you don't want to. Email us athello@artistssoar.com Rise with us! On Artists Soar!

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-9k5n4-11ef19f Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss Stephanie's recent sabbaticals - what she does, how a sabbitcial looks, how a sabbitcial helps you reset and some tips on how to grab that time for yourself! If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at hello@artistssoar.com Key talking points: For Stephanie she now takes every 7 weeks off for 7 days to refill her cup(spirit, sense of self). During the sabbatical, Stephanie does things that are for her and not serve other people. The unexpected result is that Stephanie began remembering what SHE enjoys and rediscovering the things that brought her relaxation and joy. We need to take more time for ourselves, especially women who are so often serving others, to become a better version of ourselves. Remember that when you do take time for yourself, you are showing your daughters this is ok and healthy for your self-health. Tips for getting the kids to comply with mom's need to recharge.

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-kxbnf-11ee925 Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss how they've noticed some artists are charging ridiculous pricing for courses. If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at hello@artistssoar.com Key talking points: * Are artists trying to take advantage of artists with the pricing structure of the courses? Charging $1500 for a 6-week course is more than what you'd pay for a college-level focused course. * In-depth courses should have pre-requisites to ensure that everyone within the course has the same level of experience. * We kind of get fired up about everyone taking advantage of artists. * To find the success you need from these courses you need the self-discipline to get something out of the course. * Copyrighting for content go to Jim Edwards's book Copyrighting Secrets. and his software is trafficsecretsscripts.com * Emails should be short and sweet...Headline is the #1 thing to focus on. Use this headline analyzer to help with your open rate. * You cannot take a 6-week course and expect to be successful. * Keep in mind that these course providers are only showcasing their top 1%... * Do the research on the teachers that are selling the course to evaluate whether they are worth it. * Look at LinkedIn, their shops, Google them, their Facebook, etc. * Art classes and business classes from artists should be the same price rather than devaluing their art side. * Put your courses at a realistic price. * Artists need to stop devaluing their art courses.
