Does staring at a blank canvas sometimes cause you to question your abilities? Many artists (even those you ire) struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and the current chaotic world only amplifies those feelings. But what if the only thing holding you back is the mere thought that you aren’t an artist?
In this episode of the Savvy Painter Podcast, we’ll dismantle the myth of the "real" artist and explore why waiting to embody this ideal is a waste of time. You’ll discover how imposter syndrome can signal that you're in the wrong environment (not the wrong career), how external stress fuels self-doubt, and how to regain control of your thoughts and stop looking for permission to be the artist you truly want to be.
3:15 – Challenge your inner critic who thinks you're not a real artist
10:33 – Re-define for yourself what it means to be an artist 
14:00 – The importance of identifying who you want (and don’t want) to you 
17:54 – The power of choosing to embrace imperfection and uncertainty
22:38 – Questions to ask when in self-doubt about your status as an artist
