Hello and good evening,
For the past couple of days I've been on a forced working break as I was starting to feel the effects of my past weeks constant painting frenzie...I never considered myself a workoholic, but I guess loving what you do and being your own boss is the perfect recepie for creating one.
So, for the past two days I've been mainly netflixing and sleeping, which has been nice enough, but I have missed my painting.
Today was a pretty chill day but then I wanted to paint so much that I gave myself a couple of hours to see how far I could make it on a portrait I've been thinking about for a while.
Here's the result;
Painted on hahnemuhle bamboo paper with Gansai Tambi watercolor paints.
Even thuo when the two hours had passed, I wanted to continue, I was a good girl and packed up my stuff.
Time just goes too fast when your in the zone doing what you love and to me my painting has never really been considered a job. All though it is a passion and a lifestyle I guess I have to come to ends with the fact that it IS also a job. And I need to be better at setting healthy working hours and give myself some good rest.
