Marshall and Stan have another book club episode, this time discussing “Art and Fear” by David Bayles and Ted Orland. The book explores how fear inhibits an artist’s work and the way in which an artist can confront their fears to help them create. Some of the topics covered include the difference between stopping and quitting, how you can be the best version of yourself, the way we are similar to geniuses like Mozart, and more.Build confidence within your team and reach every goal with ease- visit monday.com to start your free two-week trial.Go to thegreatcoursesplus.com/DRAFTSMEN to get access to any and all courses for the next month completely FREE!As a listener, you’ll get 10% off your first month by visiting betterhelp.com/draftsmen Call and Ask Your Art Questions: 1-858-609-9453Show Links (some contain affiliate links):Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland - https://amzn.to/30iv984Cooper’s Haircut - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/cooper-prokopenko-haircut-s2e24.jpgWar of Art by Steven Pressfield - https://amzn.to/3hZ28ELPicture This by Molly Bang - https://amzn.to/3ifq7PrThe Art Spirit by Robert Henri - https://amzn.to/3jbJevjStephen De Staebler - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/stephen-de-sculptures-s2e24.jpgThe Psychology of Performance by Eddie O’Connor - https://amzn.to/3cEgMj6Ira Glass speech - https://vimeo.com/24715531 War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy - https://amzn.to/2S8oo48Legs by William Kennedy - https://amzn.to/30fBZecJeff Watts - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/jeff-watts-paintings-s2e24.jpgKim Jung Gi - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/kim-jung-gi-marvel-ink-artwork-s2e24.jpgNorman Rockwell - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/norman-rockwell-artwork-s2e24.jpgPhotography of David Bayles and Ted Orland - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/david-bayles-and-ted-orland-photography-s2e24.jpgKirsten Zirngibl - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/kirsten-zirngibl-ink-artwork-s2e24.jpgGeorge Pratt - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/george-pratt-artwork-s2e24.jpgSterling Hundley - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/sterling-hundley-paintings-s2e24.jpgLearn to Draw - www.proko.comMarshall Vandruff - www.marshallart.comStan Prokopenko - instagram.com/stanprokopenko Learn more about your ad choices.

Drill Sergeant Stan and Major Marshall review the book “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. The book was written to help artists tackle some of the mental challenges that get in the way of creating. Using war as a metaphor, the author offers solutions to get things done by defeating ‘resistance’ - the difficult obstacles artists face. Both Marshall and Stan have caveats with Pressfield’s advice though, and like everything else, it depends on how you apply it. Right now, our listeners can get 70% off NordVPN!

Composition is technical, creative, and incredibly subjective. Marshall teaches us how to learn composition and suggests artists and resources that will help you learn more about it. Marshall talks about breaking apart master paintings to learn how to compose, focal points, contrasts, metaphors, harmonic armatures like the golden ratio, among many other things. Marshall has years of experience teaching this subject so there's a lot to absorb and be inspired by when it comes to composition.Call and Ask Your Art Questions: 1-858-609-9453Show Links (some contain affiliate links):Erik Gist - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/erik-gist-drawings-draftsmen-s2e15.jpgSteelyard Composition blogpost: https://www.samuelearp.com/new-blog/2019/7/16/5-composition-ideas-to-improve-your-landscape-paintingEdgar Payne: Composition of Outdoor Painting - https://amzn.to/2EicGA2golden ratio mean - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/golden-ratio-mean-draftsmen-s2e15.jpgMyron Barnstone - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/myron-barnstone-class-draftsmen-s2e15.jpgRembrandt - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/rembrandt-paintings-draftsmen-s2e15.jpgJohn Constable - https://proko.com/draftsmen-media/john-constable-yarmouth-pier-paintings-draftsmen-s2e15.jpgThe Elements of Dynamic Symmetry by Jay Hambidge - https://amzn.to/3hNhQTnPattern and Design with Dynamic Symmetry by Edward B.
