Episode 158: What Five Years in Tuscany Taught Me About Betting on Yourself
Jodie just wrapped her fifth year hosting a painting workshop in Citta della Pieve, Italy, and this episode is not the trip recap you expect. It is the story of a wall that could not be cleaned, the artist who painted a mural over it instead, and what five years of doing this keeps teaching Jodie about letting go of control, both on the canvas and off it. Inside this episode: • The moment a technically flawless artist finally let go of needing to know where a brushstroke was going • The story of the paint spill, the mural of poppies, and the career decision that came after it • Three things Jodie wants every artist to sit with, whether you ever get on a plane or not Resources Mentioned: Italy 2027 Honest Art® Workshop: https://stradatoscana.com/retreats/jodie-king/ The Artist Who Gets Paid, Jodie's 3-part workshop (August 20, 25, and 27): https://www.jodiekingart.com/artistseries Studio Elite Mastermind: https://www.jodiekingart.com/studioelite Episode 63, How Artists Can Reignite Their Creativity and Find Their Spark Again: https://jodieking.com/episode-63-how-artists-can-reignite-their-creativity-and-find-their-spark-again/ Episode 87, How Imposter Syndrome is Holding You Back as an Artist: https://jodieking.com/episode-87-how-imposter-syndrome-is-holding-you-back-as-an-artist-what-to-do-about-it/ Episode 120, The Healing Power of Art Workshops with Returning Guest, Becky Joan Springer: https://jodieking.com/episode-120-from-wreckage-to-community-teaching-and-healing-with-returning-guest-becky-joan-springer/ Episode 140, Finish Your Painting With Confidence: https://jodieking.com/episode-140-finish-your-painting-with-confidence-15-actionable-steps-to-push-the-fuglies/ Episode 155, Why Your Creative Block Won't Go Away: https://jodieking.com/episode-155-why-your-creative-block-wont-go-away-and-exactly-how-to-fix-it/ Have a question for Jodie?

Episode 157: How to Build Real Buzz Around Your Art (Without Chasing the Algorithm)
You've been posting. You've been showing up. And it still feels like no one is paying attention. After 23 years in the art industry, Jodie can tell you creating buzz around your work isn't luck, and it isn't about follower count. It's a strategy, and most artists are either skipping it entirely or doing it in a way that was never going to work. In this episode, Jodie breaks down exactly how to build real, lasting buzz around your art, whether you're brand new or you've felt stuck in a visibility rut for years. You'll walk away knowing: Why your email list is your most underrated asset, and how to start one even if you only have a handful of names The local collaboration strategy most artists never think to try Why leading with yourself, not the finished painting, is what actually builds connection on social media How to build a real sequence and strategy around a launch, instead of a single announcement Why buzz starts with you, not a viral moment If you're ready to stop waiting to be discovered, this episode is for you.

Episode 156: The Layering Mistake That's Making Your Abstract Art Look Flat (And How to Fix It)
Most abstract painters think layering means adding more. More color. More texture. More paint. But there's a version of layering that suffocates a painting, and a version that gives it real depth. The difference isn't talent. It's intention. And you don't need art school to develop it. In this episode, Jodie breaks down how five artists used layering in completely different ways, and exactly what you can steal from each of them for your own studio practice today. You'll walk away knowing: How Richter used scraping and trowels to reveal the painting underneath and how to do it yourself with tools you already own Why Rothko's transparent glazes created depth that opaque paint simply cannot touch What Van Gogh's impasto marks teach us about building texture that reads as intentional, not chaotic How Cy Twombly left things unresolved on purpose and why it draws the viewer in deeper The three questions to ask yourself before you add another layer Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Episode 155: Why Your Creative Block Won't Go Away (And Exactly How to Fix It)
If you've stepped away from your creative practice, whether it's been two weeks, two months, or two years, this episode is for you. Here's what Jodie wants you to know: creative block is not the diagnosis. It's the symptom. And depending on what's actually causing it, the remedy is completely different. In this episode, Jodie gets honest about the real reasons artists stop creating: burnout, grief, fear, perfectionism, creative starvation, and comparison. She also gives you a practical, tiered plan for finding your way back, no matter how long you've been away. You'll walk away knowing: The difference between burnout, grief, and creative starvation, and why it matters The questions to ask yourself when you can't figure out what's wrong A specific return-to-practice strategy based on how long you've been away Why "ugly art only" might be the most freeing thing you do this week Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a thing.

Episode 154: How to Show Up Consistently Without Losing Joy ft. Cindy Wysocki
Artists don't quit because they lack talent. They quit because somewhere along the way, they lost joy. In this powerful coaching call, Jodie sits down with Honest Art® Society member Cindy Wysocki to talk about consistency, creativity, healing, and the emotional journey of becoming an artist later in life. Cindy shares how she rediscovered painting during a difficult season of life after years of believing she "wasn't artistic enough." As a myofascial release therapist, she also explains the fascinating connection between emotional healing and the creative process. Together, we dive into: How to show up consistently without turning art into a miserable chore Why forcing a style actually blocks your authentic voice The role joy plays in sustaining a long-term art practice If you've ever questioned whether you're "really" an artist, struggled with consistency, or felt overwhelmed by social media and comparison, this episode will feel like a giant exhale.

Episode 153: Painting Composition Mistakes: Why Your Art Feels Off (And How to Fix It)
Your paintings might not be boring because you lack skill. They might be boring because you're overworking them. In this episode, Jodie dives into a totally different way of thinking about composition. This isn't another lesson about the rule of thirds or focal points. This is about what happens when artists become so focused on balance, beauty, and "doing it right" that they accidentally suck the life out of their work. You'll learn why: Over-resolving your paintings can make them less memorable Tension and imbalance often create stronger compositions The weird, risky decisions are usually the magic This episode is packed with practical questions you can ask yourself while painting so you can stop making safe art and start making Honest Art® that actually says something.
