7. Tackling the Challenging 'Mid-zone' of a painting

In this episode we reveal how a time-lapse video can bring clarity, clues and mindfulness to the mid-zone of a painting process. I share my feedback on one of Laura’s paintings and my strategies to help her move forward from a ‘thinking’ to ‘feeling’ space. We talk about: · Shifting the goal posts and learning how to loosen up when you’re used to creating more resolved art pieces. · Trusting that the ‘history’ of the canvas will shine through and how to keep going even when you think you’ve stuffed it up. · Finding the clues in your work for future paintings · Using time-lapse video as a tool to gain a fresh perspective on your art.

3. How To 'Find Your Style' When Learning From Others

In this episode Laura and I talk through the process of taking online or in-person classes and then translating that experience into your own artistic language. We talk through several aspects of this process including: Absorbing what's right for you and progress onward seeking your own style Being present in your body and paying attention to what feels good, bringing an element of mindfulness to your practice The Magnetism that occurs when your work is truly coming from you Not intellectulising the process too much.

1. Bringing a Body of Artwork to Completion.

We're off and running with the Susan Nethercote Studio Insiders Art Podcast!  So let's dive straight in. In this episode I introduce artist Laura Day, an emerging abstract artist preparing for her first solo exhibition.  Laura also happens to be my studio assistant and all-round beautiful human.  Listen in as we delve into the questions this process raises and I guide her along this path of becoming a professional artist. You can be sure we are tackling some of the big stuff in this podcast and we’re diving straight in to a big, multifaceted question- how to bring a body of work to completion. I share my insights and strategies of how to go about things like:  ⦁Learning what finished ‘feels’ like for you  ⦁How to divide up a large body of work into ‘families’ and identify the different styles that are emerging.  ⦁Allowing yourself to learn and grow as an emerging artist within the context of an exhibition.  ⦁Using social media as a testing ground for what’s working and what isn’t.  ⦁Utilising an exhibition as a marketing research tool.  I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on this episode and you can join the conversation over on my Instagram @susan.nethercote.  I’d love to hear if bringing your art to completion is one of your struggles?  Or maybe you have some of your own tips for this process?
