Perfectionism can show up in your studio and throughout your practice in many ways. Some are obvious, and others not so much. But what perfectionism looks like is often difficult to clearly define; the best way to illustrate it is by contrasting it with mastery.

In the final episode of this four-part live series on The Savvy Painter Podcast, you’ll learn about the concepts of perfectionism and mastery and explore the different behaviors they can cause. I’ll also provide insight into how to recognize and address any perfectionist tendencies you have to foster a healthier, more productive artistic practice.

3:20 - Behaviors associated with perfectionism and mastery in artistic practices

24:48 - Working through an impulse to go for too many brush strokes when self-doubt creeps in

30:57 - The importance of distinguishing between feelings of openness and closing off in response to challenges

39:27 - Working through how to reframe and respond to rejection as an artist
