Hi there! In this episode I want to talk to you about my desire to make interview other artists, and build connections in the watercolor community.
Things I KNOW I Should Do
I got this idea after brainstorming. I felt like, at the back of my head, there are many things I know I should be doing, but don’t.
So I made a list and 2 main things popped:
- Do LIVE videos!
- Interview other artists and collaborate!
So I took the 2nd one to hear, and decided to do just that.
Steve Mitchell / The Mind of Watercolor
I already started applying this change. I recently contacted Steve Mitchell of The Mind of Watercolor channel.
He is an amazing artist and I really appreciate his work. I also learned a lot from his videos. He was the first person I wanted to interview.
Luckily he was so cool and friendly about it and immediately said yes. The interview should be out this Thursday on my YouTube channel, and next Tuesday on the podcast as well (:
Benefits of Interviews of Other Artists
I have all the reasons in the world to do this. First – I think this will create AMAZING content for mine and the interviewee’s audience. I want to ask the less obvious questions. I want to open a window into the PERSON I’m interviewing.
Another huge advantage is building a more personal connection with the watercolor community.
And lastly – this will really help our channels grow, by increasing exposures.
Other Artists I Want to Interview
I’ve been thinking about some of the “purer” watercolor artists on YouTube such as Patrick Ley-Grieves, Nitin Singh and Teoh. I hope to reach out to those soon.
But then the more I thought about it the more I realized it doesn’t matter. I can interview ANY artist I want! The content will still be relevant – especially with visual artists (the medium is of less importance).
This is it! Now onto the Artist Corner
Artist Corner
In this episode I mentioned Richard Bolton, a watercolor painter who lives in New-Zealand and has a name sounding like a Game of Thrones character =P
He is an incredible painter, and an author of several books such as Texture and Detail in Watercolor (affiliate link, you pay the same price and I make a small commission).
I highly recommend you check out his artworks. You can do that on his website: http://www.richardbolton.com/
