I don’t know about you but I get side-tracked.
Distracted by the shiny.
Taken on a journey by a color passage, or a song on my head. Or the buzz of my phone, or whatever…
That’s why it helps to get organized and minimize distractions before I start to paint.
OMG Not structure, not that! Try it! Seriously!
When you start off with a plan, you’ll have a much smoother and intuitive painting session.
First turn off the phone. Put the computer to sleep, and shut the studio door.
You really don’t want interruptions. Because we all know that being interrupted during the creative process is such a buzz kill.
Next, lay out your palette. Do it in the same order every time. That way your hand instinctively knows where to go when reaching for the pigments. Gather the rest of the supplies, and place them within easy reach.
Finally, stand back from your canvas before you start, and make a mental list of what you want to accomplish.
There. Now You’ll be able to paint with wild abandon
