The Artistic Process

For every artist this process will differ. But for all of us it always starts with an idea, a start and a finish. How we get there is up to each of us individually.

Creativity also has it’s limits  –  these may be time, mood, and/or inspiration. This series of images shows the start to finish process of painting my last piece “Johnny”. This one took much longer than I would have liked, due to life in general getting in the way. I did the initial sketch and the base layer of paint in February of 2017 but then things prevented me getting back to it. Be it work, family, life. Either way that is just how things go at times. But once I got back to it, it only took me from January 2018 to March 2018 to finish it. Overall I am quite pleased with this piece.

Hope you enjoyed seeing how it all came together. I have recently started my next piece and will keep you updated along the way with how it is coming along.

Stay creative,

Tara
