Week 14 – What are POSITIVE STUDIO HABITS and how can they help you make stronger art? Use the time and space and materials in the studio well and you will make better art.

This was a DAY WITH GLASSES and a strong time in my painting years… COVID and QUARANTINE too. I LOVE the Studio Habits as an artist and work to instill them in to the hands of the kiddo’s I work with. What are YOUR studio Habits?
