Dear Art Lovers and Enthusiasts,
Welcome to the first blog post of MDW Modern Art! Today, I’m excited to discuss my journey and the ways I continue to find motivation to paint. As a professional or budding artist, it can sometimes be hard to keep the creativity going. Here is how I keep my inner artistic passion alive.
1. Setting Small, Feasible Goals
I divide the painting process into stages, making it more manageable and achievable. This keeps me motivated; celebrating small-step achievements feels good and makes the whole project seem less overwhelming.
2. Building a Routine
I dedicate a specific time to painting each day. Consistency builds a habit, and it soon becomes easy to start even on days when inspiration is low.
3. Seeking Inspiration
I try to inspire myself by visiting galleries, reading art books, and following other artists on social media. This often sparks my creativity when I see the work of others.
4. Trying Out New Techniques
Trying new mediums or techniques always brings me back to painting. The exploration of new artistic paths and stepping out of my comfort zone is what keeps things interesting.
5. Connecting with Other Artists
I join the art community both online and offline. Sharing my experiences and challenges with them ensures that I receive encouragement and support in every way.
6. Reflecting on My Progress
I take time to look back at my previous works. It is very inspiring to see how much I’ve grown as an artist, and it reminds me of how everything began.
7. Taking Breaks
When I feel overwhelmed, I distance myself from my work. A little distance often provides a fresh perspective and renewed energy.
8. Keeping an Organized Space
I like to keep my workspace organized, in my own way. A clean and orderly space helps me focus more clearly on the artwork and makes it easier to get lost in the painting process. I also clean my brushes well and care for my materials; it keeps my tools in good shape and makes me feel ready to rock another session.
9. Remembering My Why
I think of what made me fall in love with painting. Whether it’s the joy in creating, the satisfaction of finishing a piece, or the relaxation it brings—reconnecting with my original motivation is powerful.
I hope sharing my methods helps you stay motivated and inspired in your artistic journey. Feel free to check out our latest collections and upcoming events on our website. Keep creating, and let your passion for art illuminate!
