Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie discuss Stephanie's answer a listener question "what was the best piece of advice" and then we added "what was the worst piece of advice"!  If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to  email us at hello@artistssoar.com
Key talking points: 

Stephanie's best advice she received was to use her cell phone to convert the image to black and white to see the values better.
Another app is called "Grid Painter" which helps you see black and white and reduces the number of values

Julie's best advice received was "People buy your joy" by Lila Rodgers.  
Rachel's best advice from Jennifer Redstreake was "paint what you see" because everyone sees things differently.
Worst Advice:
Stephanie's someone said to buy the cheapest paint because you'll over paint.  Instead buy good paint like Williamsburg Paint, Old Holland, and Gamblin, because it is high-quality paint, Polychromos, Prisma colors.  The same applies for the other brands.
Julie's bad advice that she received was "just put it out there".  Instead of just putting it out there, Julie only posts things she doesn't have any reservations about - she only posts what she's proud of.  
Good enough for everyone else is not good enough for you. 
Do you pull off pieces that you are no longer proud of?  Julie doesn't because it is too difficult to do it.  Pulled stuff from my website - yes.

Rachel's worst piece of advice was to send the Star Wars people images of her artwork to see if they would allow her to sell them.  

What do you do with archived/old pieces that you aren't proud of?
Stephanie and Julie - start fresh.  The old pieces showed where we were and were lessons learned.

Get back to the fun, not every piece needs to be monetized.  You don't have to sell the work if you don't want to.
