**Lena:** Hey there, fellow artists! Welcome to "Creative Canvas," where we explore all things art. I'm Lena, and today I'm joined by my friend Miles to talk about something many of you have been asking about - what should intermediate artists actually draw and paint?
**Miles:** Absolutely, Lena. You know, I think this is such a common roadblock for artists who've mastered the basics but aren't sure where to go next. They've done their still lifes, they've painted landscapes, but now they're looking for subjects that will really help them level up.
**Lena:** Right! And I think what's interesting is that many artists get stuck in this weird middle ground where they're technically skilled enough to tackle more complex subjects, but they don't know which subjects will actually help them grow.
**Miles:** Exactly. And from what I've gathered, the best intermediate projects aren't just about what you paint, but how you approach them. Like Kelly Anne Powers mentions in her podcast, it's about building goals into your work so that every painting becomes a chance to improve.
**Lena:** That's fascinating! So it's not just "paint this object" but more about the intention behind why you're painting it. Let's break down some specific subjects and approaches that can really help intermediate artists push their skills to the next level.
