If you have a question for me, post it in the comments below. I'll answer as many as I can on next Thursday's episode. Here are links to each question answered in this video:

19:19 — How many paintings should I bring with me when I talk to a gallery owner about a show?
20:17 — I live in a rural area with an art community. How do I find a mentor, or other artists who can give advice and critiques?
21:11 — Have you painted any self-portraits? Would you suggest using a mirror or a photo when painting a self-portrait?
22:43 — Do you have a video on how to paint from start to finish that covers the basics of painting?
