114. How to Finish Difficult Paintings
Finishing difficult paintings. I think we all have one (or two or three) faced against a wall or at the back of a cupboard, those difficult paintings that we just can’t seem to face completing. I know that you know what I’m talking about.
Well, I have some artistic medicine for you today. In this month’s episode, I’m walking you through 20 tips that I use in my own art practice to help me finish difficult paintings. All tips are super practical and down to earth and I hope will really help you find your flow with completing those tricky artworks.
If you'd like to see me working on my own difficult painting as I cat through these points, then be sure to check out the Youtube video: https://youtu.be/gWur-oMjljo
And if you'd like to download a PDF of the 20 tips I walk you through, sign up to receive them here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5e7e91c96a87150027f6e075
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
Managing emotions: Not getting upset when faced with challenges and understanding that each artwork has its own timeline.
Subconscious insights: Putting the painting aside in a visible place allows the subconscious mind to provide insights over time.
Intuitive decision-making: Resting conscious attention on the painting and relying on intuition to determine what it needs.
Time investment: Recognizing the importance of giving the painting enough time, as certain edits may require extensive work.
Letting go: Being open to letting go of beloved aspects of the artwork ("killing your darlings") in order to move forward and follow intuition.
Refreshing perspectives: Taking breaks, enjoying tea or coffee, and stepping back to evaluate progress.
Different viewpoints: Taking photos of the painting to gain a fresh perspective and using black and white photos to assess value contrast.
