Painters Tip
Jump Start Your Process
All art is a great experiment. Don't worry about it being good or sellable.
Get out your old paintings and use them as experiments. You have nothing to lose. You might come up with a masterpiece!!
Start fresh and try new materials and techniques.
Get Organized. Set up a work space which is conducive to regular work.
Get some help. A workshop or lessons from an artist you admire will jumpstart your creative process.
Play with cropping. Take old paintings and cut them up to make interesting new paintings. They can be mounted on panel and completely renewed.
Plan Ahead. Do sketches and thumbnails for new ideas before you jump into a new painting.
Use a journal. Make notes about new ideas you want to pursue and new themes you might want to explore.
Play good music in your studio while you work. It is fun and relaxing. You will be less intimidated by that canvas if you are feeling good.
Don't be afraid to try anything, even if it seems stupid or silly. Be innovative and you will be open to great ideas.

I'm reminded of something I was told while a student: there's no such thing as wasted paint. As long as you're working, you're learning, even if the final result is unsuccessful. However, the balance must be in not aimlessly pushing paint, something you discussed in a previous blog entry.
Hi Soren,
You are so right!!
Love,
Linda
