The Messy Middle

Maryann and Jessica talk about the awkward and sometimes ugly middle stage of a painting. They talk about how you can feel stuck when you get to the middle of a painting and how to keep working. They go on a long tangent about their preferred color palettes. Don't forget to listen to the end when they check in about what they've been working on! (Listen here!)
