the art of time management
for artists

In the art world, where the creative process requires passion and focus, being able to manage one's time wisely is essential for an artist. Reflecting on how I manage to find a balance, I highlight a few key aspects.

•Determine your priorities

Whether it's a new project, an exhibition or taking part in a workshop, try to prioritise your tasks so that your creativity doesn't suffer from chaos and overload.

•Create a flexible timetable

Set a specific time for creativity and try to stick to that schedule. Remember that each of us is unique and the optimal time to work can be different. Find your ideal balance between creativity and relaxation.

•Use a timer

Set a time limit for your projects. This will help you not get lost in the creative world and keep your time and energy under control. Short breaks between painting will fill you with new energy and allow you to look at your work with fresh eyes.

•Know how to say no

Don't hesitate to turn down certain commitments or offers if they distract you from important projects or take up too much of your time. Protect your creative space and time to work on your art with full commitment and focus.

•Break up tasks into
small steps

Complex and long-term projects can seem tedious and time-consuming. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps, and mark your achievements as you go along. This will help you see your progress and stay motivated throughout the process.

•Don't be afraid to experiment

Creativity is a journey, not a set of strict rules. If you feel that your approach to time management isn't working, feel free to experiment and look for new methods. You may find that a different schedule works for you, or you may find that you work better with frequent breaks.

2023-04-03 19:03:07 The female gaze in art

Art has long served as a definite mirror for society, reflecting different perspectives and viewpoints. For centuries, however, women artists have been overshadowed by their male counterparts. But how exactly are the works of female artists different and why does it matter?

•Lighting the female experience

Women often create works based on their own experiences, reflecting the realities of female life and existence. This enriches the art world with new subjects and perspectives, giving viewers a glimpse into the world of women and a better understanding of their experiences.

•Added sensuality and emotionality

In our works, we are more likely to show more sensuality and emotionality. This can be seen in the softness of the lines, the more subtle colours and the detailing. These qualities make the works more intimate and moving.

•Reviewing stereotypes

Women's artwork often challenges established stereotypes about the role and image of women in society. This helps to break down prejudices and broaden perceptions of women's roles.

•A profound interaction with
with nature

Many female artists seek a deeper engagement with nature in their work. This is reflected in their depiction of landscapes, flowers and animals, as well as in the way they incorporate natural elements into their compositions.

•Empathy and social responsibility

Women artists are more likely to express social responsibility and empathy in their work, raising important themes such as inequality, oppression and violence. This can be a powerful tool to discuss social issues and inspire change. Открыть/Комментировать

2023-04-02 18:17:41 Why do quick sketches?

Quick sketches are a great way to develop your drawing skills, especially when time is limited and conditions are far from ideal. Here are a few reasons why quick sketches are worthwhile:
⠀
•Develop the habit of
drawing every day
⠀
Quick sketches do not take much time or effort, so you can sketch whenever and wherever you want. In this way, drawing becomes a habit.
⠀
•Teach the ability to get
in the drawing with a single line
⠀
Constant practice makes your sketches more accurate and realistic. If you do it regularly, you'll learn to transfer what you see on paper in a single movement of your hand.
⠀
•Increases the speed of your work
⠀
Not only for sketches but also for longer works, you can draw more quickly and with higher quality.
⠀
•It teaches you to stress
⠀
When you are sketching we often have limited time and need to quickly grasp an image. It is the sketching that helps us to understand what is important and most characteristic in nature. By the way, it happens all by itself.

•Discover our weaknesses

Sketches show at a glance what we have the most difficulty with. For example, in your sketches, the brushes are the most often affected. So that's a reason to pay more attention, to study the structure and the possible
angles, to see how other artists paint what you don't understand.

•Teaches you to analyse nature

During long periods of drawing, our attention is often dulled by routine work. Sketching, on the other hand, teaches us to constantly look at the subject, which then leads to a greater likeness.

•Allows you to add to your knowledge

Sketching helps to build up knowledge and experience as you draw different objects you have never seen before.

2023-04-01 18:13:39 Fear of a white sheet or
how to start a painting

It can sometimes happen that you pick up a pencil, get your brushes ready, mix your paints, pull out the freshest white canvas and just sort of freeze in front of it. Time goes by, the paint dries, and you stand at the easel and can't do anything.

The fear of a blank page is very similar to the fear of starting something new. It sometimes overtakes even deeply professional artists. This fear comes from the subconscious and affects not only painting, but other areas of life as well.

So what do you do to get started?

•Set a daily time limit
for a creative routine

Regular practice helps you get used to the creative process and reduces stress before starting a new job. Determine a convenient time and place for your creativity and follow your schedule.

•Use visualisation

Sit down, close your eyes and mentally draw the picture you want to create. Let your imagination run wild 100%, and then, inspired by that image, get to work on your canvas. The visualisation method will not only fill you with positive emotions, it will also help you map out the goal you want to achieve.

•Take a black sheet of paper

We're used to the idea that a drawing sheet has to be white, but that's always wrong. Graph paper and pastel paper come in all different shades. It's psychologically more difficult to draw something on a white sheet - what if you get it dirty or spoil it? While on a black sheet, it's easier to draw - you create white or bright spots!

•Start small

Sketch a smaller canvas, make a collage of some photos of your idea on your computer, choose the most difficult element of your future painting and practice scribbling it. Don't expect it to be perfect - sometimes the fear of making a mistake is as paralysing as the fear of a white sheet.
