Tips for Starting New Work
EPISODE 140
Even if you have been painting for years, a new canvas or series can be daunting. This week, Richie and I chat about getting started. This includes surface preparation, studio set-up, and facing the blank canvas (or in my case, wooden boards).
While we share tips and ideas for getting prepared and setting up your space, we also talk about the value of jumping right in. Sometimes, the most important thing is that you splash paint and lay down some marks!
Plus, we reflect back on last week’s conversation about self-care and stress.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and it encourages you to make a start on a new piece or series of work without getting too bogged down in all the details!
