On today's episode we sat down with Philippe Gandiol, a French-born artist who paints both studio work and plein air in an impressionistic style inspired by both the abstract and realism movements. He discusses his artistic journey, from early exposure to art through his grandfather, to working for the music industry, to eventually transitioning to a full-time painting career later in life. Philippe emphasizes the importance of developing a relationship with his "muse" and listening to the painting itself to guide his creative process. He shares strategies for overcoming the challenges of being a self-employed artist, such as diversifying income streams and leveraging connections through art organizations. Philippe advises aspiring artists to use fear as motivation, maintain a positive mindset, and pursue their passion relentlessly. Finally, Philippe tells us about his upcoming classes and where you can sign up!
