In this episode, Eric Rhoads interviews Vice President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, HaideeJo Summers, live from the Plein Air Convention & Expo.

Listen as they discuss:
Perseverance, social media, and scams artists should look out for
The importance of painting what interests you and HaideeJo's process for plein air painting
Entering art competitions, handling rejection, and much more.

"If there's something you want, you should just be persistent," Haidee says. "You just have to keep plugging away. Many people give up. It's very competitive, even to get a painting accepted, and many people get discouraged ... If there's something you really want, you should just keep going."
