I never really was good at selling myself, and I didn't feel comfortable doing that, so I usually just gave up on that.”\n— Thomas Sarrantonio\nTimestamps:\n00:00 Introduction\n01:38 Field Painting : Plein Air at First Light\n04:43 Showing Up Without Selling Yourself  - Libraries, Bakeries, and Community\n08:26 Practical Tips for Showing Outside Commercial Galleries\n10:55 Sunset With Storm Offshore: A Labor of Love\n15:49 Never Give Up Creative Freedom to a Gallery\n18:21 Visibility \n20:33 Final Advice\nConnect with Thomas\nWebsite: https://www.thomassarrantonio.com/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thomassarrantonio/\nLearn more about The Professional Artist Association:\nMentoring:\nApply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1w06IKct0FZ59SGs6Y8H5DQOlgFvyRf7GbYr1lhEpu0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYjgx/ZjQ3MjE4YjdhNDFi/OGE2ODg0NDY2ZDdi/ODI0MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
