Art2Life.com - Every time I make art, I'm thinking about how it relates to my life. The ideas around art as a practice profoundly affect the kind of art you create and the speed and progress you make. Today, I’m going to be talking about the inherent life metaphor built into the art-making process. Join me as I take an in-depth look at getting started, why self-optimization is the key to more creativity, how to optimize yourself, and so much more.
================================
LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…
Why thinking only gets you so far and the practice of starting [2:25]
Self-optimization as a path to creativity [7:52]
Slowing down for new experiences [15:06]
Using different tools and pushing boundaries [24:50]
Letting go and embracing change [31:13]

Goodness, I am just blown away by how fundamentally true so much of what you express feels to me. I have been making art all of my life and I have never encountered someone who describes the experience I have and love, as much as I can love anything in life, as clearly as you do. Heartfelt thanks to you.

This has to be the best podcast Iv'e ever listened to. You are absolutely fascinating! Your analogies, coralations, gosh you made me grin, smile, chuckle. Thankyou so much. Love hearing my thoughts spoken out loud. Please keep sharing.

@terikidd Год назад

Possibly the best, finest podcast you’ve ever produced. My pleasure goes beyond you painting, which is mesmerizing. It’s the trueness of yourself exposed-it’s the best therapy ❤❤❤❤❤

@prairieescallier2495 Год назад

Maybe best podcast. A real inspiration for me, a fairly new painter, loving it, finding my way. The freedom to experiment and go for it is so new to me and I see how you handle the colors, the canvas, the second choices - it’s a beautiful piece of learning for me. Thank you so much for giving of yourself in this way. You are teaching me to let go of the constant analytical judging and quietly let intuition guide me. Giant gratitude. 💖.

It's like our childhood melting crayons and then scratching out a picture love it

@jeanwells3752 10 месяцев назад

Delicious way you illustrate your process with you self talk. Lots of info that resonates with me. Trying to determine my “happy ending” to my work is fascinating. I let some work sit that I love and I sometimes give it life just by the trickle, drip or swipe that nails it. What a validation I get connecting with our processes! Thank you so much… you feed my soul!

You are a brilliant communicator and artist, truly. After hearing your valuable insights, I have clarity about some of the obstacles I’ve encountered in my art practice - and in life, actually. Thank you for being so candid and generous with your knowledge.

Soooo many times I hit pause and added a gem of wisdom to my journal. ❤💗❤️💗❤️💗 “Thank you” seems inadequate for the richness you contribute to my expanding world, but it will have to do. 🙏🏼🌟

@MrPapahen1 8 месяцев назад

You’re a natural communicator : I’ve been an artist all my life and recently discovered yourself And this is the first video I’ve seen which explains in an instant and uncomplicated way the potential of the process With thanks 36:56 37:00 37:02

@susiegilmour3520 8 месяцев назад

I could just watch and listen to you all day. I’m also on this journey of painting intuitively and it’s changing everything. It brings me joy and has really taken the angst out of looking at the blank white space.

@suemassey6099 10 месяцев назад

You are an absolutely BRILLIANT artist! And so inspiring.

@Messiah1976 9 месяцев назад

I have been watching Art2Life For a few years. Thank you for being an inspiration in my life. ❤

@leanneward5244 8 месяцев назад

I have the same path it’s just how we are you just go with the flow of whatever it is next and just do it. You just keep painting until you’re happy with what’s in front of you and you will know when it’s finished. Your paintings are all beautiful 🥰👍they are what they are. 👍

@malcolmmcinnes9068 4 месяца назад

This is great. Your narrative through the process such an insight about the creative journey and the fusion with life itself, our lives, on point. ❤

@Elizabeth-uz1mn Год назад

Love this piece you created. I have learned so much from you, and continue to pick up nuggets of wisdom with each podcast. Thank you!!!

@karenjoy9997 Год назад

I was coloring on large paper, mark making w/ big posca pens, while listening to your podcast. Very helpful. Your voice is calming. I would love for you to make more of these type of videos. Thanks Nic

@lindawalker7752 11 месяцев назад

Life-long artist and life-long learning is the key. Thanks for the boost, love your philosophy!

@annbarnes8402 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your process Nick, so helpful to watch. It's also so relaxing which is what I try to get to when I'm painting.

@mauimorgan9757 11 месяцев назад

Damn! (and thank you:) "The way out is by getting in motion" ] Your such a smart guy and articulate your thoughts so well. Thank you for sharing yourself, your art and your time. I feel so enriched and greatful ;>

@itsjudystube 6 месяцев назад

As soon as you started mixing that Orange my eyes and heart leapt. Up to that point I had been feeling nauseous as I often do with teal or turquoise based colours. I know mostly from my stomach when a colour doesn’t feel right to me, rather than by my head. In the last class I went to, textile art, people would come to me to check their colours. I didn’t tell them what to use but I showed them how to “audition” colours with each other. I showed them how to twist threads together to “mix” different colours that they didn’t have. But most of all I showed them how to recognise gut feelings about colour, like my teal based nausea, or eye reactions, where they feel their eye is dazzled, or confusion, or a feeling of excitement or relaxation when choosing their colours. So many just pick up their habitual colours.

@christinemaskaly5208 4 месяца назад

Loved painting along with you on this one! Your voice is amazing it just kept me going and going and going and your attitude that's just otherworldly it's so awesome like sitting by a stream or babbling Brook ❤️

@MarkSnedeker Год назад

Another great episode! Love that you not only provided insight into your painting process, but you also connected your process to your life experiences. Well done!

I could listen to your voice all day, so peaceful! I didn't follow lesson at all I'm thinking, but enjoyed a very peaceful environment as I painted !? 🫣🤗. Thankyou Nick, lost my Husband of 50 yrs couple months back and this is giving me hope and know he's proud of me for using ALL my supplies again finally! 👍👏

@kathhicks6439 7 месяцев назад

Yes,art is a magic metaphor for what our lives are. Thank for the generosity of your sharing.

@margaretholland671 4 месяца назад

So brave to get rid of things. I tend to keep too much stuff and what to must try is different things and see what happens. Maybe paint for an hour watching the changes and not being so afraid . They say process is everything but I guess I'm still hung up on the outcome which is rather a detached view. Responding to what is happening is far more exciting and I can surprise myself. Thank you for this sooo much

❤ What a great way to start my day! Thank you for this lesson. ✨️🎨🌟🎨✨️

@user-qf4zi5vv3e 5 месяцев назад

This came at a such perfect time for me… Letting go of something to let the ´new’ come in. Letting go of how art should be done, of how I feel as a base for creating or not… I could go on and on… Thanks.

@alenkavonengelhardt3544 Год назад

Wonderful episode! Thank you Nicholas for all your insights, so helpful and inspiring!

@artiste335 Год назад

I just discovered you today. Love it, but I was very impressed with the painting before you covered it in white. It was perfect. I have subscribed and will be watching and implementing your wonderful and inspiring ideas!

@lightcardsatlisas3932 6 месяцев назад

I needed to hear this. Just found you on here and Thank you

@itsjudystube 6 месяцев назад

If I find myself pondering actively over something, spending too much time on it, I now realise that it is causing me a problem. It might be a person, a hobby, a painting. It’s one thing to realise that, it’s another thing to act on it.

@chrismichell4070 8 месяцев назад

Great podcast... Love it.... So much to think about.

@JudyBrizendine Год назад

This was a wonderful experience to watch! I went back into a piece in progress and simply tried a completely different approach-playing and experimenting with something I had never tried. It was fun-and I’m still experimenting!! Thank you!

@joanpowell5653 9 месяцев назад

Nicholas, I just love what you did here. You are amazing! When I first started watching, I was a little worried! You just taught me how letting go is okay because there may be something around the corner. The geometric shapes grounded the whole art piece. I am super new to painting and looking for my niche. Looking forward to watching more of your podcasts and today I am going to have fun doing something like you just demoed here. Thank you Nicolas! joanie

I just do it with a few thoughts of what I want to work with. I am making my own art to work with. That excites me. ❤

@bettymallorcaart4345 7 месяцев назад

That was really fun to watch you develop this from scratch! Lots of encouraging, intriguing ideas/reminders. Thanks! (I really enjoy painting while I am chatting with someone, different things happen)

@itsjudystube 6 месяцев назад

As you have electronic images ditch everything that no longer represents you. I am still agitating on that. Or try collage and use them. I donated four huge bin bags of clothes. I had two friends put them in bags when I said to bin them. Then they had to put them away. I didn’t once look in them. Then two of us took them to the shop. Now I have more to go. It’s encouraging.

Love this! It's teaching me to have more discipline creating. Have you thought about using your older art work that you are storing in collages?

@donnamartin308 4 месяца назад

I loved the week I had. I did an abstract of sqares, mainly in greys, pinks, a little yellow and a little white. I really liked but I would like to hear from Nicholas or one of the many coaches for any constructive criticism (or maybe its perfect and they love it, lol). This is an 8 x 10 canvas.

Thanks so much for this tutorial, Nick. Your creativity just gets better and better. What if you set out to purposely make a real mess? How would you approach saving it?

How many layers/ attempts to create a painting can you put on a canvas before you risk the paint cracking and falling off the surface?

@a.c.6302 10 месяцев назад

Do you was you brushes evertime you finish or save/store them to reuse. i am always washing mine lots of mess. thanks

@sanaedvorjetz4809 Год назад

Hi Nicholas, Thank you for sharing your painting process. I found it was very inspirational. I have a couple of questions to ask if I may. The first one is that I noticed you were not using any painting mediums. The second, what kind of paints did you applied and can I purchase them in UK? The last one is that when you creating the images on the surface, did you visualise them in your head or did you make some preliminary sketches? Kind regards , 😊❤
