Kick in The Creatives Podcast - We talk Creativity, Art and Writing with Creative Challenges and Gossip Tara and Sandra, met by happy accident. Tara had been listening to a Podcast that Sandra just happened to be being interviewed on, and having her own podcast at the time, she invited Sandra to be a guest. The two of them quickly hit it off and went on chatting, long after the recording had stopped… And they haven’t shut up since! Tara was a whizz at idea generation, but having been a graphic designer for 25 years, she had long lost her connection with a ‘real’ pencil. Sandra, on the other hand, was and still is, a realism painter, yet she had the inability to just ‘let go’ in her sketchbook. Over the following weeks, they began setting each other creative challenges. As a result, Tara rekindled her love for drawing by hand, and Sandra horrified to be handed a ‘chunky marker’ to draw with by Tara, was forced to let go of her pedantic sketching style and just ‘have fun in her sketchbook.’ It was clear that the two of them as a duo, were a good influence on each other and having finally met in the flesh, they became firm friends. Knowing the power that creative challenges had held for them, they decided that they wanted to help other people find and embrace their creative side and just ‘have a go.’

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about finding your art niche. Where do you fit in?
Well, first of all, we should clarify that you don’t need a niche if you are purely painting for fun, although most people are drawn to certain subjects.

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about how to get back on track with your art after taking a break. And we thought this would be quite a good episode to do at this time of year, because like a lot of people, we took a break over Christmas, and it took us a while to get back into the swing of things.

Today's episode is a little bit different.
You get to be a fly-on-the-wall on one of the art conversations Sandra and I would normally have off air.
It all started when I asked a Sandra a question after we'd recorded a podcast and she said, why not record this and let's see what happens.
SO we did, and there's no editing either.
So get your paints out and join us for some studio art chat.

In today’s art podcast we are going to talk about the most important skills an artist can have.
And you might think the most important skills are things that revolve around knowing how to draw and paint! But there are so many more skills you need to work on if you want to be a successful artist. Being good at what you do, isn’t enough.

In today’s art podcast we are going to help you figure out how to start drawing again if you’ve stopped and want to get back on track. It easily happens and there can be lots of reasons behind it, so the first thing you need to think about is what’s caused you to lose your way and how you can get back into the habit.

In today’s art podcast we are talking about the AHA moments we experience as artists and there is no more useful AHA moment than the good old ‘happy accident!’
And it’s often the happy accidents that help us progress, because it almost always means that we’ve learned something… It’s just that we learned it by mistake.
