Fabulous pod cast. Inspirational.

🙌🏻

I love the question and also i absolutely loved seeing all the details and subtleties of your work. My questions, when i remember have been "does this make me feel expanded or contracted"...

All artists want to succeed. It is very hard for any artist to make a living this is why you see people teach or coach. This is the truth. The biggest problem is that people don't support the arts. How do we solve this problem??? All artists would succeed if people supported the arts. Local artists.

You’re so right Nick ! It’s only after months and years do we become consistently good at our art .

So true in my experience. Often, in my work I am wondering if this way of approaching a certain area is ok? Instead of: wow: this area feels great/new etc and it also works in the context. Then, more often than I could care for, I find myself watering that area down to what I know is ‘acceptable’. And every time I could bite myself in the butt! 😅

I think I still hear my father's ghost voice saying painting is not work. That is such a stumbling block

Sooo goood ❤️

BE...DO....HAVE!!!! blows my mind Thank you thank you for this amazing Podcast

I’m watching this for the second time, such fantastic insights and encouragement…I could have watched it for another hour!! So yes, this format is awesome. Thank you Nick and James 🙏💕💥

Thank you for these tips. I will try this with my own work. I have something I worked on in my sketchbook this morning and noticed parts I liked but other parts I didn't like! I had to walk away from it and will see if i feel less constrained when i go back to it later.

🌊🐬Surfing in Flow state!

Like this method for bringing who we are now to our art and we can observe the difference especially as it relates to old ideas, styles, themes and mark making.

Great ideas. Gives me a new point of view when staring at my work! very helpful. Have one in my studio this very moment that needs me to practice this new vision. Sometimes I think I'm too bold, too much color; I see on the screen how much white you are using in this particular painting. I'm going to practice using more whites, lights and neutrals hard as that seems to be given my love of bold color! Thank you for your generous teachings. can't wait to sign up for your classes next years (2025).

The mind is complicated . Even a mistake is not a mistake but part of the path towards self expression. I try to pay more attention to the interactions of color, values and shapes. Your podcast have helped me to see better. Thanks

Great advice. Also I think it can calm us down when the little brain demons start to whisper at you, ‘So - you think you can paint, do you? We’ll see about that’.!

Thanks, nick! Good stuff!

I’m an A2L newbie and having so much fun that getting stuck is not as much of a problem as painting so long that I lose track of time! But when I don’t intuitively don’t like what’re I’m going, when the painting looks muddy, too busy, etc, I get up and leave the area. Get a drink, make a phone call or go outside n breathe. That usually clears my mind …and the painting

Yes, i do something similar. I compare pictures. And the likes and dislikes become apparent.

I love that your focus has shifted over the years to truly support internal growth and the Crrative Spirit, Nick. So much appreciation for you & your team. Thank you!!!! I look forward to joining you on a Mexico workshop one fine day!!

I absolutely agree with you!❤

Love this thank you! You can’t steer a boat if it isn’t moving.

Thank you Nick 🙂❤

Love this, thank you!

Iteration .. cooool

If I had one bit of encouragement from a knowlegable person, if I had feedback, or a place to display the art, or even one sale, I would be gung ho! I am isolated, without any artists to talk to, share notes or learn from. I am ready to give up because of it. If after 1 1/2 years of trying to paint now, i need someone to say: this one is good, this style is your best, or you have zero talent for visual art, go back to music or writing, it would be a huge blessing just to know. Im so goal oriented, I need sales or some way to gauge my level of "success" at It. Some offer this service for a fee, do you?

There are no others like me to commune with...lifelong belief. Lol

Enjoyed this episode, thanks!❤

Great interview! I would love to see her business run an introductory course for fine artists to help us work out business models.

Great chat, thanks so much.

Beautiful! I love this episode so much. As an artist in New Zealand I’m heading to Suzi’s website right now. Thank you Nick and Suzi ❤

everyone has a difficult something in ones life but some people need help to get through some people will do art,or be a musician or write a book or whatever but there are some people that don't know how to reach out like mental illness thats something that needs addressing art can pull you out of those dark places.

my father told me when I was at high school that I had no colour sense whether it be clothing or doing art in general so hew stopped my hopes in it's tracks and now he's dead my adventure started sort of 10yrs after that insult I started dabbling in drawing even though I wasn't very good then I found water colour pencils that I still have today and tried them not sure on how they worked that was when my son was a toddler fun times and I also taught him how to make shapes with play dough so after that when he turned 22yrs I picked up a paint brush that was my true passion like doing landscapes,seascapes and having a go at city scapes and using gouache,acrylic,and watercolour paints,crayon ,sharpies stencils is where I am today.

Wow Raquel inspired me so much - both with her art and with her attitude to life.💕 Thank you!

As always, what a great discussion! Loved hearing Suzi’s way of approaching business. This was so thought provoking, insightful, and helpful. Being free! Thanks to both of you 🙏

This was so great nick ! Loved it 🫶🏼

Love all of your creative tips! Thank you👏👏👏

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Needed that right now!

Powerful message, Nicolas! I feel like I’ve been to church in the best way possible! This fed my heart, soul, n mind🙏

interesting that people are liking the roller effect - it's not for me, not into the mechanical repetition of it, but i generally love the way you work and have learned a lot - it's the freedom/non-attachment particularly. Obviously you also have great sense of colour combining! thanks a lot - I don't know how many of your videos i watched but probably most of them!

Art is symbolic language, reduce to the simplest form… minimize…

Great ❤

Love this format of creating and conversation. Gelli printing is magical and so fun. I’ve been working with medical exam paper and when wet it is so transparent and more durable than the wet strength tissue. Thanks for sharing this amazing conversation. 😍

Wow what an awesome podcast .... so uplifting and inviting and such amazing stories (from both of you) as you play while making exciting art. Thank you both.

Hi, just a comment to say Thnx for everything you share.. I did cvp 23 and will do it again next year, enjoyed it so much... Have to say and hope you will incorporate one older video in these free content you are posting - the story (in cvp23) about your "horse therapy" was such a great story and I revisited that many times... The way you talk about it and the way you are laughing about it in the video reminded me not to take things or myself so serious many many times after...

So inspiring. Every day happens something good ❤calling in the mentorship 🤩

This is exactly what the art2life podcast is meant to be!!!! Doing art while chatting is FANTASTIC! A million thank you's Nick! And Racquel- I could listen to your story and watch you work for days!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Nick, This is a wonderful format. Raquel is so inspiring for me, in this retirement phase of my life.

BEAUTIFUL PAINTING and good tip about finishing the work.

Am I subscribed I am not good at the computer and all I have is my phone😊
