“Do you ritualize your art practice? Or rather, what do you do to get in the mood to create? With the whole full time job thing, oftentimes when I get home I don’t feel up to making creative decisions. Even just using my eyeballs to look at things feels difficult after sitting at a computer all day. For the last several weeks I’ve been pushing myself to get in a half hour workout right when I get home, and it’s been helpful in not only making me feel better, but it also creates a sort of barrier between my work day and my creative time. That barrier allows me to settle into a deeper mental state quicker than if I just try to get into my studio right after work. Anyways, I’ve been all about tiny rituals to trigger my brain into a creative state lately. Let me know if you have any! Materials for this study: Lukas watercolors from @jerrysartarama @jerrysartists  and Daniel Smith watercolors for this. Also that @finetec silver. Lukas colors: Lemon Yellow, Cad Yellow Light, Magenta, Cyan, and Paynes Grey. Daniel Smith colors: Opera Pink, Pthalo Turquoise, and Pthalo Blue.“
