What if we stopped selling? [254]
This week, we’re talking sales - or rather, we’re talking what happens if we take sales out of the equation. Alice has just finished a gallery show while Louise has a pile of finished paintings she hasn’t yet put on her website.
We discuss the role that sales play in our creative process and in our ultimate satisfaction. Is it important to exchange money for paintings? How would it feel to give work away? Or to make work with no intention of ever sharing it? And what impact would these decisions have on our creativity?

Enjoying the Journey with Louisa Sugden [253]
Louisa Sugden is a photographer, stylist, and content creator with a large social media following and a house renovation that has taken 8 years (and counting). In this episode, Louise talks to Louisa about how she learned to slow down and enjoy life, even while living in semi-chaos, and how she has learned to share honestly on social media and Youtube, without worrying what people think.
Louisa might not be a painter, but we think she's a true artist and we hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation.

Studio Secrets [252]
This week's episode began with a simple question: do you wash your brushes before finishing for the day? But we soon realised that work practices and studio set-up are a whole topic, so join us as we dive into storage, colour mixing, and the ways in which our spaces evolve as our work changes.

Making Art that Connects [251]
In this solo episode, Louise reflects on a key principle of art-making - one that can take your art from good to great. If you want your art to connect with others, who better to learn from that Taylor Swift? Her new album is the most successful of all time, and Louise thinks she knows why. She also thinks we can all learn something from it. So if you want to make art that resonates deeply with other humans, this episode is for you.

Customer Reviews
Thanks for making my weeks!
There is only one podcast of my many that I just can’t wait to listen to every week. I only do art as a hobby but LOVE it and also write too and I not only enjoy learning from you both but also listening to your very wise observations about the world and real life etc. . I am 64 soon to be 65 and from the UK but live in Spain full-time now and have to work again due to some unfortunate circumstances a few years back where we lost pensions, so you make my work less hard for the hour you podcast. l have a busy daughter of 43 too so can resonate with both of you. Thanks so much for your generosity and time. xx
Completely addicted!
Art juice is a perfect balance between good advice, serious, honest insights, and sniggering. Tuesdays are now my favourite painting days when I have Alice and Louise with me!
Fabulous!
I am Spanish artist working from Madrid and since I discovered you some months ago I have listened to all your episodes... Thank you for this great podcast!! Keep them coming this way 😃😃
