Afraid to show your paintings? Listen to this.

Savvy Painter Podcast with Antrese Wood

Getting your work out there is scary for a lot of artists. Sometimes it’s because we’re afraid no one will like it, but more often it's because we are so worried about whether or not the paintings will sell.

That creates a ton of pressure.

This episode is for you if you want to show your work but secretly resist taking actions to get it out there.

I give you 3 ideas to make it easier:

Showing your work makes you a better painter: you get to see how people react to your work. Art is communication, part of communication is listening to the response.

Putting your art out there helps you find the people who will truly love and appreciate your unique voice. These are the collectors who will support you as an artist. Help them get to know you.

Sharing your work, even if it’s scary (especially if its scary) boosts your confidence. The more you do it, the easier it gets ( I promise!)

Start small, go slow until you build your confidence. Sales is just one of the byproducts you get when you purposefully practice sharing your work with other humans.
