How Much Time Will It Take?
How much time you take to create your art is irrelevant.
The creation of any given art is a process. How much time it takes to create art is an often controversial, yet deeply personal matter.
This can be particularly disempowering in the ultra-fast, have-it-done-yesterday society we live in. How many competitions do we see on TV where you have 3 days to renovate a home or 30 minutes to cook a meal and the like? Those are forms of art in an extreme environment.
No two people are alike. Hence, if two people are recreating the same painting, one might get it done in an hour while the other needs a whole day. And the result might be so similar that you can’t tell which is which.
Hence, why how long it will take you to do your art is irrelevant.
Over the past few months, I have been getting one day ahead of my blog schedule. I post one blog a day 6 days a week. Thus, my Wednesday blog is written on Tuesday, while my Tuesday blog is typically written on Monday, and so on.
But the Monday blog can be a sticking point. I have allowed flexibility so that it gets written during the weekend, Saturday or Sunday. Except, from time to time, it doesn’t.
