Here are some great art tips she talked about in this episode:

  1. Study pictures of other artists’ work to figure out how they do things and what you want to do.
  2. Joining art groups online are great because the members are always so encouraging.
  3. Gaining inspiration from other artists shows you what possibilities are available, then you can go and make your own things.
  4. Don’t be afraid to not have a focal point on your art piece.
  5. Develop a relationship with a gallery first before approaching them.
  6. In Crystal’s classes, she helps students identify their obstacles and get over them.
  7. She starts every class with five minutes where the students can get used to the space and be ready to try new things.
