6 Tips to Help You  Stay Motivated  When Making Art 

Paintings are an incredible way to unleash your creativity. Setting up your painting studio can be difficult and time-consuming, but it is not impossible.

1. Set Goal Set a goal for yourself and make it achievable. If you want to draw something, set a deadline for yourself.

This will give you the motivation to start drawing and also help you stay motivated when drawing.

2. Create A Schedule Create a schedule for your day, so you know when to work on your art, when to take breaks and when to go out with friends or family.

This will help ensure you don't get burnt out from drawing too much or neglecting other important parts of your life.

3. Take Breaks And Practice Self-Care Practice self-care by taking breaks from time to time and ensuring that you get enough sleep, food, and water to stay healthy while making art.

4. Surround Yourself With Inspiration Find inspiration in art, books, and nature. Whenever your head starts to feel foggy, or you find that you're drawing things that lack detail or interest, check out these sources of creativity.

5. Set Goals For Your Future Drawing Set goals for yourself beyond what you can achieve during the week, like getting a piece of artwork printed, or

if you are interested in pursuing a career, set short- and long-term goals.

6. Do a Practice Session Before your session, practice drawing to get familiar with the medium or experiment with different styles of drawing.

If you don't know what style you want to use, try out something simple like line drawings or pastel drawings.
