How to Know When Your Artwork is Done
Ernest Hemingway said, “There is nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed.”
I completely agree with Hemingway. And I think that being a visual artist is much the same thing. And many times, knowing when our painting is done can be the most painful part of the creation. Today I’m going to talk about how to know when your artwork is done.
Much of this audio was taken from a Youtube video that I created on the same subject, because I realized how important the topic is and that you might benefit from it as well in the podcast world, in case you didn’t catch it on the video. But I did add some additional thoughts at the end that came to me as I was getting ready to produce this. So it definitely sounds like it came from two recordings, and that’s why. I hope that you find it useful.
Today I want to talk about a question I get often, which is, “How do I know when my artwork is done?”. Now most of you know I’m a painter, so I’m going to use painting as an example.
Keep in mind that this advice can be helpful to all visual artists.
