Welcome to today’s art podcast, and today we’re going to chat about prioritising the fun stuff with your art. What we mean about that is making sure you make time to do the creative work you enjoy, rather than worrying about your art or getting bogged down by the business side.

Some of the things we chat about
- Create a scribble and then make it into a character
- Collage is a fun way to loosen up, just place bits on your sketchbook and work over the top of it
- I had been getting a bit inside my own head trying to decide what to paint and in the end decided to just paint how I felt rather than worrying about if it’s commercial or not.
- Playing with a new material or using it in a different way can inject fun back into your art.
- Try applying materials in a way that is harder control
- Do a blind contour
- Do something fun in your sketchbook that’s different to what you paint
