as someone who easily gets her head stuck in the clouds, I really have to make commitments with my work and the physical steps I take or I'd be too busy making decisions to actually get up and paint. It may seem limiting but nothing is more restrictive than avoiding the start of a project you want to bring to life. So far this month I've been knee deep in rulers laying out the drawing for this piece and getting things just so. Despite the slow pace my enthusiasm is high, and I know that this part of my work dramatically effects the results for me later.
No mater what style or pace your work is, identifying the individual and specific steps you take in the beginning stage provides clarity. Making it easier to show up on those not so good studio days or tired afternoons. And don't be afraid to repeat yourself in your work, it only helps make your voice louder in the final art pieces.
I hope you enjoy the art vlog and maybe feel that itch to to become a more consistent artist.
