Pencil Notes #1 - Managing workloads and chatty update

A very different episode today! Much shorter and chattier - it's been slightly more chaotic than usual the last 2 weeks and because of the increase in workload I've struggled to sit down and record this weeks episode properly. I thought instead of missing a week I'd quickly hop on and update you all on what's been happening BTP. I'll be back with a normal episode Tuesday chatting about Christmas fairs and what to do to prep for them! Thank you for listening and hope you're having a great start to the week, Molly Jay 👩🏻‍🎨 xx Stay in touch with BTP 🎙✨ Pencil an email: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/behindthepencilpodcast Website: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/behindthepencilpodcast Molly Jay Links: Commissions: https://www.instagram.com/mollyjayillustration/ Original Art: https://www.instagram.com/mollyjaystudio/?hl=en Website: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

My thoughts on my original artwork not selling, a new location for them & marketing

In episode 12 I'm chatting about taking my three original wildlife artworks to a new location to be hung, my thoughts of them not selling / finding a forever home so far and what I can do to change that going forward with my marketing strategies. I also briefly chat about us Artists feeling disheartened if our work doesn't sell straight away. I hope you can relate to this episode in some small way, thank you for listening, Molly Jay 👩🏻‍🎨 xx My originals mentioned: https://mollyjaystudio.com/original-artwork Stay in touch with BTP 🎙✨ Pencil an email: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/behindthepencilpodcast Website: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/behindthepencilpodcast Molly Jay Links: Commissions: https://www.instagram.com/mollyjayillustration/ Original Art: https://www.instagram.com/mollyjaystudio/?hl=en Website: https://www.mollyjayillustration.com/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

My favourite art materials - paper & pencils (part one)

For episode 10 I'm taking a deep deep dive into everything I use as a full time Artist, working mostly in coloured pencil and graphite pencil. This episode was so long I have split it into two parts, oops - (love a bit of art waffle 🧇) in part one I'm discussing my favourite papers (there's a couple), the different coloured pencil brands I use and my favourite white and black pencils. Part two will cover all the other tools I use like erasers, sharpeners, slice tools, fixatives, my scanner and any other tech equipment and accounting software.
