For the next two episodes, I’m talking with watercolorist Carrie Waller.
I’ve divided the episodes up into two parts. In part A (today’s) Waller talks about being OK with finishing paintings slowly. She explains how she uses color- like puzzle pieces- in her work. And she shares the method she uses to bypass those ugly middles stages that can demoralize so many of us.
In part B we get into the specifics of glass, the importance of art friends and why sometimes you just need to take one of those technical art classes. It’ll pay off later big time.
Doors are open for the next round of the 20for20 Art Challenge.
This is a structured 20-day challenge where you spend 20 minutes a day painting or drawing. We begin with Prep Week to help you choose a project, set up materials, and make a realistic plan so you can follow through.
If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with your art, this is a great place to start.
