I know a lot of artists are having trouble showing up to their studio or art practice right now. It is no wonder with the energy in the world right now.

It is hard!

I have trouble too!

Some artists are experiencing artists block and say they can’t show up. Is this just a procrastination tactic? The muse isn’t going to show up unless you do.

I try to go to my studio Monday through Friday, sometimes I show up on the weekend too!

I am not always productive with creating and that is okay.

Here are some tips that might help you;

• Have a set daily time

• Schedule it into your day or week

• Don’t expect results

• Try a different medium or technique

• Try emulating a painter you admire

• Clean your space

• Limit what you will work with

• Allow yourself to play!

Do you ever feel too tired to show up? Again is this procrastination? If not rest. Don’t fill your tired time with doing something else. Go to your studio. Nine times out of ten you will feel fine and even energized.

If you are having trouble showing up or have a block perhaps some coaching around it could get you over the slump.

We need to be creative now more than ever.

Feed your soul! It will thank you!
