016 How To Move Past Artist Block And Be Inspired Again
from Paint Rest Repeat: Art Business & Artist Marketing with Ros Gervay · host Ros Gervay and Laura Day
Welcome back to another episode of the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast. This fortnight we chat about artist block and how to move past it. We explore two different interpretations of artist block from Laura’s first hand experience of a block in combination with physical illness and clinical depression; and Ros’ focus on the psychological barriers we create for ourselves as artists. We talk about the strategies that Laura used to get back into art making from journaling, to self analysis and following the breadcrumbs of joy, simplicity and nostalgia. Laura shares how her medium and goals changed after her creative block and why she chose to simplify her process to enable a return to art-making. We also touch on the small steps we can make to get back into an art routine from habit stacking, keeping it easy and capping the time. We also share how these tips can also help those that are feeling stagnant in their practice. We hope that you enjoy the Show!
