Bali rules [247]
“The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.”Alain de Botton
This week we're catching up after Alice's trip to Bali with stories of hot hikes, vibrating water beds (?!) and more!
While travel can be fun, the real benefit is how experiences like this can change the way you do things, or what you think of as possible. What can we take back in to our art practice - perhaps to nudge our edges a bit...

Making Space for Creativity [246]
Do you ever find yourself rushing around, filling every moment, and then wondering why your art is disappointing? In today's conversation, we explore the topic of making space and allowing our art to breathe. Sometimes this means letting a single painting rest before working on it again, and sometimes it means taking a complete break to recharge and find new creative energy. For some people this comes easily - for others it can be extremely challenging. If you are one of those people, we hope this conversation is helpful :)

Are you keeping up? [245]
In a week a little squeezed by life admin we take time to explore how we feel about the idea of "keeping up". This often comes up for artists in the guise of keeping up with courses, with their own set projects (100 day project anyone?) or even the criteria we create for ourselves.
But is there a different way to look at what we take on?

This week we consider where we may be in too much of a hurry and invite you to extend yourself a bit more grace and relaxation. But also to be really honest about priorities, where you are showing up for yourself and what you are prepared to do.

Nurturing Your Creative Practice (with Sally-Anne Ashley) [244]
This week, Louise welcomes guest artist Sally-Anne Ashley, who has thought very deeply about what it means to build and sustain a creative practice. In this conversation, Louise and Sally-Anne discuss the foundations to intuitive painting; explore the importance of awareness, and dive into the challenges of trusting our own intuition. This is a deeply inspiring conversation that we hope you'll enjoy.

Whats in a Name? Talking Titles [243]
This week, we’re talking titles. Yep, that stage when you think the work is complete - and there’s still the process of coming up with a title for your masterpiece. Does it even matter what we choose? Do they make you more or less likely to buy a painting?
From locations to the disappointment of “untitled” we look back over some of our favourite ways to select relevant titles - and even try to think of the most off-putting title we can. With so many ways to choose, this is the final stage and can be deeply personal; Alice thinks “A painting title is like a free gift”.
Do you agree? What’s your favourite way to pick a title?

How to Price Your Art [242]
Often a sensitive and uncomfortable topic, but the question of how to price your art is essential to consider - and to confront if you are to avoid getting stuck in the weeds of self-doubt!
In this episode we run through some common pricing strategies artists use and cover the pros and pitfalls of each of them to help you determine prices when you’ve never sold before.
We also cover when it's time to raise your prices and factoring in elements such as gallery commission, work on paper vs 'paintings'.
Our own views on money are huge here. We all know artists who don’t charge enough and pricing too low can cause as many problems as pricing too high for the context or stage you're at. So as well as the "formulas" we offer some suggestions to bring your pricing into alignment in a way you can feel proud of.

Episode 231 Prep for a Show
I have poor impulse control and am continually distracted by sparkly things. I can’t plan anything too far in advance because I stress over not getting anything done until the last month. So I decided to shorten the go time on ideas or projects. Someone offed to host a show for me. I impulsively said sure! The date is December 19th!
This episode was so timely I laughed! Organizationally, I’m an Alice wannabe living in a Louise world. Great intentions, slow to start because I think I need to have everything figured out. I have lots of helpful insights from this episode. First I’ll learn how to do a spreadsheet, then try to create one, finish it maybe, grab a tablet and just write it all down. But first I’ll make a list…oh look at that sparkly thing!
Like a cozy cup of coffee
I’ve been listening to Art Juice for several years and have always found the show not only helpful in developing my career as an artist but also just super comforting and entertaining. Like having coffee or tea with a friend. Thank you Alice and Louise! Highly recommend!
Thank you
I began listening to your show in May of 2022 and, while I know absolutely NOTHING about painting, the episode I listened to revealed a camaraderie of artistic process that I did not know was missing until then. A clinical mental health therapist by trade, my art is writing and photography (although not together : ), most of which have been solo endeavors surrounded by people who appreciate art but not necessarily have a language for it. So, thank you for doing this. I know one day this really WILL end (and I am already dreading it) but, in the meantime, you have given me an unexpected creative sanctuary and I am very, very grateful.
