Inside My Mind โ A New Personal Podcast Episode
|
Hi everyone, I'm grateful to share that I recently joined artist Sanchia Marshall on the Trail Blazers Palette Podcast. In what became my most personal public conversation yet, I delve into my artistic journey and personal milestonesโfrom my studies in Florence to experiences of marriage, peaceful divorce, and responding to social anxiety with playfulness and courage. I hope this episode offers you both solace and inspiration, as I explore these topics with Sanchia. ๐ง Listen here: Light and Shadow: A Deep Dive with Dorian Itenโ This episode came out while I was on my way to visiting Florence. It was my first time in 13 years. I saw many of my teachers again, visited schools, artists' studios and met a Shading Course graduate! I just returned and need some time to reflect, but I'll share a bit more soon over at the Drawing Dojo, our Discord community server. You're welcome to join us there for free daily and weekly draw-together sessions and study groups. Warm greetings, |
Dorian Iten
