Why I haven't finished a painting.. can u guess?

🐕🐕🐕

Nami has been with us for two weeks now. Your comments on my last post were right...puppies are a lot of work! But I do love her 💖

She much more of a morning person than me, so just like her, I've been adjusting to waking up a bit earlier to do a walk.

She is still learning, and I have to tell her 'no' a lot. But I know that the structure will help her be happiest in the long run.

🎨🎨🎨

But yea, I've had a lot less energy to do art. Its okay to slow down I think. I actually really like how the sketch turned out, it's another practice of drawing the head from an above angle.

Now that I've taken a couple days off, idk if I am going to finish it.

Hopefully this weekend I can really reset and get back into my drawing and reading habits. Me and the dog will be able to get into a comfortable routine.

... Read moreAdopting a puppy, like Nami, can significantly change your daily routine, especially if you are an artist. Puppies demand time and attention, and as they adjust to their new homes, owners often find themselves re-evaluating their own schedules. For emerging artists, finding the time and energy to create amidst these changes can be challenging. It is essential to set realistic goals; allowing yourself breaks and adjustments is vital to avoid burnout. Establishing a fixed schedule that accommodates both pet care and creative time can help maintain the joy of both worlds. Incorporating your pet into your creative process can also be beneficial—drawing their likeness or capturing moments together on paper can reignite your passion for art. As you navigate this dual commitment of creativity and caring for a new pet, remember that it's okay to slow down and embrace the journey ahead, which may include fewer completed pieces but definitely more enriching experiences.

An abstract painting on an easel features bold, textured strokes of bright yellow and dark gray. The irregular shapes and thick paint application reflect the artist's philosophy of knowing when a piece is complete, even with messy layers and awkward marks, as described in the article.
How I know an Abstract Painting Is Finished
I don’t finish a painting when it looks “right.” I finish it when it stops asking me for anything. At first, I try to control everything, the colors, the movement, the balance. Then something shifts. The painting starts answering back. That’s usually when I stop fixing. Some layers stay
