Leanne's Little Art Chats

Leanne's Little Art Chats

This is a chill little podcast where I like to chat about--yep--art! My name’s Leanne (did you guess that too?!) and I'm your host. I’m a visual artist, crafter, video maker, blogger, and probably some other things, too. In this every-now-and-then type of podcast, I talk about my thoughts on creating, share inspiring artists, resources, recommendations, etc. My goal is always to inspire and empower creators; I want every human to understand that we are all capable of being artists. Whether painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpting, crafting or something else is your thing, I hope you enjoy!

Is it wrong or selfish to keep making art when others are suffering? (Spoiler: the answer is no!) In today's episode, I just wanted to encourage you to keep making art, because it's so essential to us all.

I'm also curious...what are your thoughts about Patreon, in light of some of their changes??

All artists experience disappointment with their work, but what can you do when you really, *really* don't like it?! Hopefully I can offer some helpful advice on the subject today...

AI images aren’t really art, but does that mean they can’t be used in the artistic process? Today I’m sharing several of my scattered thoughts in general on AI “art” …let’s see if I can make any sense!?!?

Welcome to the first episode of Leanne’s Little Art Chats!!  This is probably—hopefully?—the most rambling one, too.  (What I’m saying is, I’ll plan out future episodes a little better.)

In this very first episode, I’m introducing myself, talking about what I plan on doing with this podcast, and share one of my essays on why your sketchbook does NOT have to be perfect or even beautiful.  If you’re an artist who finds it difficult t...

We can be a little too hard on ourselves as artists, especially when things aren’t going as we’d planned…we may know certain truths, but we may struggle believing them.  In this episode, I hope to share a few reminders with you to encourage you in your creative practice.
