Plein Air Podcast 261: Harley Brown and the 7 Essential Art Truths

In this episode, Eric Rhoads interviews Harley Brown, who isn't just an artist, but a legend.
"All of my art friends, the vast majority of them, the older ones, lived into their late 90s," Harley says," and their brain was still cooking. Their brain cells were always active. So if you're out there and you do art, you are not only inspired, you're not only inspiring yourself, but your mind is always going to be working."
Listen as they discuss:
- The moments that transitioned Harley to making it to the "next level" in terms of selling his art
- The first time his head "started buzzing" as he put down strokes of pastel for a portrait
- The core basics and seven essential truths of art
- How to find the initial excitement that drew you to painting
- And a special treat from another side of Harley's talents!
Bonus! How do you craft a compelling artist statement? Is it smart to make prints of your paintings, and if so, how and where should you sell them? Eric Rhoads answers in this week's Art Marketing Minute Podcast.
