Episode 22: Sarah Sedwick, Part 1

Learn to Paint Podcast

This week, I’m talking with oil painter Sarah Sedwick. This interview will be in two parts with Part 2 (a bonus episode of sorts) coming your way, Dec. 14

In part 1, you’ll discover how premixing frees you up to make looser paintings. You’ll learn how to paint those shadows and explore different types of palettes. Plus a whole lot more.

 The 20for20 Art Challenge is almost here! You’ll commit to your art for 20 minutes a day for 20 days. Prep Week is underway, but there’s still time to join us, choose your project, get your materials ready, and make a plan for your 20 days. Registration is still open, so if you’ve been thinking about joining us, now’s the time! Join us here today!
