“A day spent doing a bad painting is better than a day spent not painting at all.” - Thomas Schaller
But - you might ask - what if you don’t feel inspired? Do you wait for it to arrive? And what do you do if it never shows up?
In this week’s video, we hear some insight from watercolor artist, Thomas Schaller, about the topic of inspiration. Then I go through 3 things that I do to keep myself motivated and inspired when I'm not necessarily feeling like painting.
Thomas Schaller is a fantastic artist. He's a great person, and he has a lot of great insight into the creative process. Some words of advice he offered for those times you feel uninspired, are:
“I think about who I am and what makes me want to paint in the first place… I don't have to go out and find [inspiration]. I just have to sit down and get to work… It's the process of doing it that's inspiring. You've already got the inspiration.”
His words resonated with me, and they are ones that I recall when I am feeling particularly unmotivated or discouraged.
To hear more from Thomas Schaller and to learn the 3 action steps I take when I am feeling uninspired, watch this week’s video!
Keep working at it, keep coming back to your art, and keep moving forward.
