How to avoid the over-thinking trap [74]
b'
Has over-thinking in your studio ever frozen you in your tracks? But you also want to bring more consideration to you art than pure intuition? This one is for you!
\\nDuring our conversation with Brian last week, Alice asked \\u201cIs it enough to just focus on a buttery brush stroke?\\u201d and this led to a discussion of the role of the intellect in painting. Brian suggested that thought must only happen outside the studio, with instinct and intuition being the guide while he is working. So today we thought we\\u2019d dive more into this topic.
\\nThe balance of feeling and thinking in painting - how much do we need a concept? How important is intellectual thinking? Does working intuitively just mean throwing paint around willy-nilly? At what point is it most effective to think - before, during or after a painting? And is it the same for each of us?
\\nWe also play "ask the Brian oracle" with a listener question...
\\nAnd Louise\'s final inspiration (Brian\\u2019s statement \\u2018humidity made me a painter\\u2019) might leave you with a question: "What is the one thing we continually come back to in our work?"
