Episode 7: Joan Fullerton

 

Welcome to episode 7 of the Learn to Paint Podcast. This week I’m chatting with mixed media artist Joan Fullerton.

In this episode, Fullerton discusses how she learned to distinguish the voice inside of her, how she teaches materials in her workshops  and why learning to critique your own work- the right way- is so important as a painter. Plus a whole lot more.
