Information and Inspiration

Great tool to learn and progress as a painter. The interviews are rich with information. This has fueled and sustained my interest as I get back into painting after many years.

My new favorite podcast

I came upon this podcast because of an interview I wanted to hear and I can’t get enough of it. I have been painting for many years but what hit me most of all is that I can see what everyone is talking about and it confirms my hard work has paid off. So amazing to hear interview after interview of artists on the same path. I used to paint alone in my studio. No longer. Thankyou.

Superb interviews!

Kelly-Anne’s guests are successful, articulate artists who have great depths of experience and can explain their process clearly under her careful listening and precise questioning style. The interviews are so rich with content that you can easily listen to them several times and learn something new each time. I highly recommend this podcast for both beginner and advanced artists. It is one of the finest of its kind available. IngridS, Vancouver
