Self Taught Artist
89 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 147 ratingsWhat do Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and I have in common? We're all self taught artists.

The mission of the Self Taught Artist podcast is to help artists (and aspiring artists) learn and fully discover the joy of making art. We will cover everything from the basics of painting, to how to sell your work, and beyond.
