My Favourite Art Podcasts For Artists
What do you like to listen to when you draw? I like to listen to a podcast to inspire me, music to pep up my energy, or complete silence if I want to focus on something challenging. If you enjoy podcasts as I do, here is a list of my favourites. I hope you will be inspired, amused and educated by them.
