In today’s episode (Part 1), I sat down with several of my artist members for a heartfelt conversation about something many creatives quietly experience — the life of a lonely artist. We spoke openly about imposter syndrome (because it keeps resurfacing), painting by yourself, and what it truly means to call yourself an artist — even if it’s “just” a hobby. We explored: • How to get started when you feel stuck • What to do when life feels grey • Why live workshops may not work for everyone • Starting your own art group • Finding a safe creative community • How to rise up and paint when confidence is low This conversation only scratches the surface. In future episodes, we’ll continue unpacking what it means to pursue art in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and supportive. If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong as a watercolor artist — this conversation is for you. Online courses
