DO YOU TEND TO PUT YOUR ART PRACTICE ON HOLD WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION? (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)
Taking breaks from making art is important. When I have been working for weeks and weeks I notice that I start craving to see something different than my own work and my studio. I usually postpone fulfilling these desires until I finally realize that what I really need to do is leave entirely. Maybe go on a long vacation somewhere exotic. Take a total break from making art. Once airplane tickets are purchased or plans are underway and the departure date is fast approaching I start to feel somewhat refreshed already. My thinking has changed from working to leaving. And in that space I find, naturally, what I actually feel like doing, what I tend to gravitate towards is making Art. Maybe not in the same way I had been, but in a smaller way. Maybe I should just throw in a sketchbook and a couple tubes of watercolor in my bag…
If you have ever felt this way then I want to encourage you to bring the art supplies. I will show you what I always bring. It is not much but it can make your vacation feel, well, like a real vacation.
