Meditation for Painters
Advice from a Young Tradesman
Experimental episode alert! This episode contains a short but effective breathwork exercise followed by yours truly narrating an interior accent wall paint job with the soundscape in the backdrop. Think of this as an introduction to the forms of meditation that I've found most effective. Enjoy! I recommend if you'd like to further explore this realm. Timestamps: 1:49 - Body awareness/relaxation 4:50 - Breathwork exercise begins 7:45 - Painting narration

info_outlineNick Slavik owns Nick Slavik Painting and Restoration in New Prague, MN, hosts a weekly Ask-A-Painter show on Facebook that I'd liken to This Old House, and presents masters classes at trade shows and conferences. I forgot to ask if he ever sleeps.
I kicked off this series with Episode 5, The Craftsmanship Trap, and that episode explored the push and pull between craft and process. We heard from Nick May on process in the last episode, and in this one I was thrilled to dive into where craftsmanship fits into scale. Nick Slavik has given this a ton of thought and his perspective is invaluable here.
