Thin Coat Of Varnish

Featuring artist Jill Rumley.

In this episode I paint a study live while I discuss a couple of topics: good/bad art advice, artists you used to hate but now love, and art rules you live by. This episode is mainly visual, so I highly recommend watching on my Youtube channel instead: http://bit.ly/2FKIYT7 [http://bit.ly/2FKIYT7]

In this episode, I discuss Jerry Saltz's "How To Be An Artist" article that he wrote for Vulture.com. How true are these rules? How much do I agree with them? You may be surprised...

On this episode of Thin Coat Of Varnish, we discuss whether or not you should list your prices for paintings on your website. This came out of a podcast I heard make a small comment not to put prices on paintings online because it "looks tacky." It then sparked a massive discussion on my Facebook page with varying opinions. I'm taking it to my vlog! I present to you here the discussion and my musings on the discussion.
