Painters Paint

Years ago, a wise stranger once replied to an unsolicited email I sent to share advice about being a painter. I had just graduated from art school and wanted to make a career as a fine artist. He shared some generous advice and the line that I’ll always remember in his response was “Painters Paint”. This meant that if I wanted to be a painter, then it's simply something that I needed to do regularly and regardless of life’s circumstances. This simple directive has proven very helpful for me in the seven years hence.

There’s more to making art of course and this newsletter is a means of sharing the things that I discover in my stubbornly relentless practice as an artist, educator and perpetual student. In addition to the “how to” of art, this newsletter is an examination of why art matters.

I hope that you’ll find it helpful in spurring on your own creativity and that it makes for some thought provoking reading.

Please leave a comment from time to time to join the art talk. 

To all the art lovers and art makers out there, you are awesome!

Sincerely,

-Zach
