Honest Art Podcast with Jodie King

Most abstract painters think layering means adding more. More color. More texture. More paint. But there's a version of layering that suffocates a painting, and a version that gives it real depth. The difference isn't talent. It's intention. And you don't need art school to develop it. In this episode, Jodie breaks down how five artists used layering in completely different ways, and exactly what you can steal from each of them for your own studio practice today. You'll walk away knowing: How Richter used scraping and trowels to reveal the painting underneath and how to do it yourself with tools you already own Why Rothko's transparent glazes created depth that opaque paint simply cannot touch What Van Gogh's impasto marks teach us about building texture that reads as intentional, not chaotic How Cy Twombly left things unresolved on purpose and why it draws the viewer in deeper The three questions to ask yourself before you add another layer Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Artists don't quit because they lack talent. They quit because somewhere along the way, they lost joy. In this powerful coaching call, Jodie sits down with Honest Art® Society member Cindy Wysocki to talk about consistency, creativity, healing, and the emotional journey of becoming an artist later in life. Cindy shares how she rediscovered painting during a difficult season of life after years of believing she "wasn't artistic enough." As a myofascial release therapist, she also explains the fascinating connection between emotional healing and the creative process. Together, we dive into: How to show up consistently without turning art into a miserable chore Why forcing a style actually blocks your authentic voice The role joy plays in sustaining a long-term art practice If you've ever questioned whether you're "really" an artist, struggled with consistency, or felt overwhelmed by social media and comparison, this episode will feel like a giant exhale.

If your paintings feel flat or chaotic, your colors might be the problem, and the fix is messier than you think. Let's talk about the thing most artists try to avoid at all costs …. Muddy color. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that "ugly" mix on your palette is actually the secret to creating rich, cohesive, fine art. Because when everything is bright and saturated, your painting has nowhere to go. I used to think I was ruining my work every time my colors got muddy. Turns out, I was missing the magic. Today I'm going to show you how to use complementary colors to create depth, contrast, and those gorgeous neutral tones that make your art feel elevated and intentional.

If you don't have energy, you don't have art. Let's talk about how to stay sharp, creative, and energized as you age. Here's something most artists don't think about until it's already a problem … Your body is part of your creative process. If you're exhausted, foggy, and running on empty, it becomes harder to show up, harder to focus, and harder to create consistently. In this episode, I sit down with Alan Graves to talk about longevity, energy, and how to support your body and brain so you can keep making your best work for years to come. We dive into the science behind energy decline, what's happening in your body as you age, and what you can actually do to feel better and think more clearly. Because this isn't about vanity. It's about vitality. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing! And don't forget to come hang with me on Instagram @jodie_king_.

If your paintings feel flat, it's not your color. It's your values. And this mistake is keeping your art stuck. Let's have a little heart-to-heart, artist to artist. If you've ever stood in front of a painting thinking, "Something's off … maybe it's the color," you are not alone. In fact, it's one of the most common traps artists fall into. But here's the truth most people aren't talking about. Your brain doesn't even prioritize color first. It prioritizes value, the lightness and darkness of what you're seeing. So when your entire painting lives in that safe, middle-value zone, it doesn't matter how beautiful your colors are if there's no contrast, no focal point, no visual tension. In this episode, I break down exactly why this happens and how to fix it fast. Here's what you'll walk away with: Why focusing on color first is keeping your art from leveling up How to quickly check your values using simple tools What to do to create depth, contrast, and a clear focal point Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

If you want to sell more art, stop tracking likes and start tracking the leading indicators that actually create consistent sales. In this episode, I'm breaking down the most important concept artists miss when it comes to growing income: sales are a lagging indicator. Sales are the harvest. The smoke. The result. So if you want consistent sales, you have to track the leading indicators, the seeds you're planting that create those results later. We'll cover metrics across five areas: Creativity metrics Visibility metrics Email metrics Relationship metrics Mindset metrics And then we'll land on the one metric that matters most: consistency. Because better art, better marketing, and better sales won't happen without it. If you've been feeling powerless when sales slow down, this episode will give you your agency back, plus a simple tracking framework that helps you adjust without spiraling.

If you are afraid to change your art style because you might lose collectors, this episode will set you free. After 22 years as a professional artist, I have evolved through more styles than I can count. From sassy word paintings to farm animals to mixed media to abstract expressionism, every shift came with fear. What if they leave? What if I lose momentum? What if I ruin my brand? Here is the truth. Changing your style is not betrayal. Staying stuck is. When artists cling to a style just because it sells, they start to resent their work. Curiosity fades. Experimentation stops. The creative fire dims. And eventually, the business plateaus, too. In this episode, I share how to evolve your art style without losing your audience and why your voice matters more than your visual language. You will learn: Why your style is not your identity. How to bring collectors along in the process The one mindset shift that keeps your brand from going stagnant Collectors are not just buying your art. They are buying your courage, your voice, and your evolution. If you're feeling the itch to experiment, this is your permission slip. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

If you're trying to control your art, you're cutting off the magic. In this episode of The Honest Art® Podcast, I'm calling out the sneaky habit that keeps artists stuck … being too attached to the end result. When you start painting already knowing how it should look, you stop creating and start performing. You shut down spontaneity, intuition, and the wild, beautiful chaos that makes Honest Art® come alive. In this episode, I'm breaking down: Why attachment kills creativity How to paint from intuition instead of ego What "trusting the process" actually looks like (and why it works) This is your permission slip to paint like a kindergartener again … curious, bold, and totally free.
