I’d like to know if you feel having a discounted sale annually or bi-annually is beneficial to your art business. I know you have been having them regularly but I’ve always shied away from discounting my art.
I’d also like to know more about Patreon, the benefits and downfalls.
Thank you for all the information you have provided over the years. Looking forward to reading more.
Michael, because you’re both a writer and a painter, I think you could do a good job of describing your thought process as you work on projects.
A lot of teachers demo what they do and share guidelines, but not many explain what they’re thinking as they work. It’s hard to paint and talk at the same time, but it’s so valuable for students if you can do it.
I think learning how to think like a painter is as important as learning physical skills. Maybe moreso. And it’s harder to learn.
Somewhat of a riff on your teaching--what about self teaching or structured practice? What would a seasoned artist with the credentials and accomplishments you have, recommend to someone recently retired with no particular intention beyond simply improving one's artistic practice systematically? Asking for a friend :)

Excellent idea, and thanks, Michelle! I will try to asnswer your friend’s question. ;)
My two questions: How do you get back when you feel overwhelmed? And how do you feel inspired to create?
Great questions! Thank you.
