ARTish Words: Tara Leaver + swimming lessons for artists

As in the sea, so in the studio.In this ARTish WORDS episode, Cornwall painter and educator TARA LEAVER shares what the sea has taught her and how it provides a roadmap for the artist journey. Using three simple words “I don’t know” followed by one word “just,” Tara works her way through things that initially seem daunting, as in: “I don’t know” what I will paint today, so I will “just” go in and clean my brushes.Tara insists that she is not a superhero or even unusually brave; rather, she is just someone who wants all the bounty of what the sea—and an artist life– have to offer. Move closer to thing you are afraid of and you just might discover your own magical sea cave.Mentioned:Swimming Lessons for Artists, Or What Your Comfort Zone Doesn’t Teach You, by Tara Leaver (read) Happy Artist Studio, membership art courses (explore)Find Tara:Tara's Art Website:  taraleaverart.com Tara's Art Blog:  taraleaver.com/blog Happy Artist Studio (artist membership) happyartiststudio.comInstagram: @taraleaverart   Pinterest:  www.pinterest.com/taraleaver Find Me, Kristy Darnell Battani:Website:    https://www.kristybattani.comInstagram:  kristybattaniartFacebook:  kristybattaniartDid you enjoy this episode?
