Ep. 26 — Uncovering Your Artistic Voice
The question I get most as The Art Coach: “How do I find my own style?” In this episode I walk you step-by-step from eternal student to authentic creator. We start with the foundation of visual language—value, color, shape, and form—then move into the real engine of style: creative intuition. You’ll learn how to close the gap between idea and action, stop overthinking, and say yes to the sparks that actually want to be made. I share the “acres of diamonds” lesson to show why searching outside yourself keeps you stuck, and why your originality lives inside repeated action, not perfect conditions.
What you’ll learn:
Why “self-taught” really means self-directed, not self-isolated
How to listen for intuition and act before doubt takes over
The two fastest levers for style development: make a lot of work and close the idea–action gap
How to spot the thread in a set of 30 sketches and build a body of work from it
Why commissions and trends can mute your voice, and how to get it back
