These are the things I set in place myself when I was still working at my last, "normal" highly-demanding full-time position in order to get to a point at which I was able to start selling my art and teaching others from my own home studio. I also have this blog post/YouTube video, in which I provide my best tips that'll help you make more time for your art, even as a crazy busy person. Some time ago, I shared a blog post titled Time Management for Artists: My Secrets for Staying Consistently Productive, which I highly recommend checking out after this one if you're having trouble prioritizing your art and setting goals as a creative. If I'm not prioritizing my art creation, then I'll not be able to create the quality work I want to be able to offer and I won't have the ability/confidence to be a great instructor for my students, either. This is a big problem because not only is continuing to develop my artistic skills very important to me, but it's the foundation for everything else that can come from them, whether it's being able to sell my art, teach classes or workshops, or practically anything else I decide to do in my business.
Staying consistent and productive can already be really hard for artists for a number reasons.įor a lot of aspiring artists I meet, their art tends to take back seat to more "urgent" priorities such as keeping up with classes, a full-time job and juggling all of this with adulting and family/social commitments.Įven as a working artist myself, sometimes I look back to the last few weeks and it's pretty surprising to realize how much of that time I actually spent working on my art when compared to administrative tasks such as accounting and invoicing, marketing, emailing customers, preparing classes, providing students feedback, etc. Why is having a designated space for art creation so important for artists? How can I create an inspiring area to work in when I'm short on space at home and/or barely have the budget to invest in my art supplies?
