3. Artist Keys: Robert and Sarah Genn

The Painter's Keys was founded by artist Robert Genn to help other artists succeed in their careers. Robert Genn said: “Although our business seems simple, there is so much to know about it. I found that a lot of this had never been properly expressed before." He wrote these newsletters twice a week for 15 years until his daughter, professional artist Sarah Genn, took over. Now she writes one a week and sends an archive letter from Robert. Topics range from existential to practical, and are always enjoyable and informative. Some of the latest letters have dealt with the pressure to be creative, the nature of happiness, and the consequences of disorder in your art.
