On today's episode we sat down with Scott Tallman Powers, a fine artist specializing in western scenes who is always looking to capture the connection between humans and their environment. Scott discusses his artistic journey, from studying at the American Academy of Art to transitioning from illustration to becoming a professional painter. He emphasizes the importance of painting from life, understanding abstract foundations, and the balance between realism and narrative storytelling. Scott highlights the challenges of meeting deadlines while maintaining quality, the benefits of plein air painting, and the necessity of diversifying income streams through workshops, commissions, and selling smaller studies, while also maintaining strong relationships with collectors through genuine communication. He also reminds artists to get yourself out there and find a good artist community to motivate and inspire you to continue on your journey. Finally, Scott tells us about his upcoming workshop and exhibitions, including a collaborative landscape and figure workshop with Scott Christensen and his participation in The Briscoe Museum Night of the Artists Show and The Prix de West!
