I thought you might enjoy this talk I found on YouTube:

For quick reference, the 7 habits he lists in the video are:

  1. Daily Work
  2. Volume not Perfection
  3. Steal
  4. Conscious Learning
  5. Rest
  6. Get Feedback
  7. Create What You Love

The talk is worth watching.  His examples are helpful and motivating.  Enjoy!

P.S. I put 14 brand new Hand Painted Paper Packs in my shop.

Get 'em while you can!

  • Hey Sue: Feedback is a huge part of the Boot Camp class I’m teaching. I think it’s one of the more vital skills to develop — both giving and receiving feedback!

  • One of the things I learned in the art classes I have taken is how to critique another’s work. This includes kindness, pointing out strengths, and also introducing areas where things could have been done differently. Sometimes this follows “This is wonderful! I wouldn’t change a thing!” with “Did you think about . . .?”
    These critiques are amazingly helpful as feedback and as growing as an artist who will always deal with criticism from others – some of it not very kind.
