Welcome to
SITAR is about ANYTHING art. Your art, someone else's art, writing, photography,
the art of cooking, the art of sewing and textiles. Sharing historical
art, street art, a story about art. Do you have a question or need help
with art? Write a blog post and link it up here. We will all try to help
with it. My only rule is that if someone asks for critique it must be done with generosity and consideration.
This is a place of learning, encouragement and inspiration.
Just a small a reminder. I am not a master at art. I just love creating.
Are you an impatient artist? I used to be. I wanted to get through an art project as quickly as I could. I think just to "see" the results. Until a few years ago when I watched a video about taking my time to draw. What a difference it made, not only in the results, but my mind set as well. I still do 5 to 20 minute warm ups.
These are old drawings and the first one is actually a 3 minute drawing.
Let's get back to taking your time.
On my last FFO Portrait challenge I worked on all 5 expressions. Most of them I took my time on, but this one I did in a few hours the day before the challenge.
So, my question again, are you an impatient artist?
Let me know in the comments.
Create with all of your passion.

Patience, Nicole, is what I work on. I have my Dad´s genes and I´ll look for a pic! He was patient with an elderly man looking for glasses - I have it in my impatient mind.
So love the lady with the teeth :-) Happy Sunday, hope you feel well.
I am not an artist, just one who dabbles in photography, but yes i can be impatient although that might not be quite the word that i need to describe how i am.
I was always quite impatient, but like you, I'm not feeling so rushed any more. Life goes fast enough without rushing the art, right? These are wonderful faces Nicole. Thanks for hosting and also for bringing us along on your art journey. It's nice to be reminded we are all on a art journey, if we make art that is. Happy Sunday. hugs-Erika
Alas, yes, I can be impatient. I want my art to be done within 2 or 3 hours max. I cannot fuss endlessly over details. I hate drawing anything more than once, so doing a series of preparatory works before the ultimate art -- cannot do it, I get bored.
I think "it depends" is my answer. When I have the time and no obligations, I just enjoy taking my time. But sometimes life doesn't allow that so I am impatient at those times.
I am an impatient creator, but have learnt to slow down a little.
I had to think about this question a little bit. As a gardener I simply cannot be impatient. When it comes to art, I'm very slow, but I'm not sure whether this is a result of patience/impatience. I simply would not be able to draw a face like you did in 3 minutes. But I do like the idea of warm ups - maybe I should try this. You really gave me something to think about.
Interesting post. I didn’t think about warming up to draw or paint.

I think I am both, depending on the situation. My quick sketches are never satisfying to me but I am too impatient to mess with them. But, if it is a picture that I am sharing, I will take my time (be patient) to get it the way I want it. And time can be a factor ... like if I have to meet a deadline (Ugh) I get very impatient.
As for your art, your detail is exquisite and that takes patients. I often learn about detail just by lookng at your art ... so even in silence you teach :) Happy Spring Nicole :)

They all came out really good.
I really like your sketches! I cannot draw or paint at all! Patience is something we all need more of in every life situation! Thank you so much for sharing, Nicole, and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
I see are as a meditative process, so I agree. I love all your portraits too. Blessings!
These are lovely, well done.
Pelas amostras apresentadas fica evidente o seu talento para essa expressão artística.
Boa semana.
Abraço de amizade.

I wish I had your drawing talent!
These are good. :-D
You are just so good at catching wonderful expressions in your portraits. The eyes, the mouths, they have the personality of the subject. I admire that.
