Extra Paint with Jocelyn Tsaih

Extra Paint - The @Muralists Podcast

1. Value change. Learn from change as often as you can. Even if something is difficult, it may be beneficial to make the leap and try anyway.
2. Allow your style to find you. You have to draw a lot of things you don’t like to find out what you do like. Your earliest jobs will teach you so much about what you do and don’t like, when you have that figured out it will be much easier to choose and create the kind of work you really love.
3. Muralists have so much power to completely transform a space. There is a unique confidence that comes from painting such a large piece of art. Look out for walls that are mutually beneficial for you and the person inviting you to paint.
4. Ask for feedback. In school and college feedback was constant, when you step out as an independent artist feedback will only come your way if you look for it. Find mentors and people to ask for feedback from. Each piece of art is a collaboration between you and the owner of the wall or the viewer of the art, seek out their thoughts.
5. Freelance can be isolating, having mentors and fellow artists that you can discuss your craft with can help ease the isolation.
