0035-How to Know When Your Artwork is Done

Ernest Hemingway said, “There is nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed.”
I completely agree with Hemingway. And I think that being a visual artist is much the same thing. And many times, knowing when our painting is done can be the most painful part of the creation. Today I’m going to talk about how to know when your artwork is done.
Much of this audio was taken from a Youtube video that I created on the same subject, because I realized how important the topic is and that you might benefit from it as well in the podcast world, in case you didn’t catch it on the video. But I did add some additional thoughts at the end that came to me as I was getting ready to produce this. So it definitely sounds like it came from two recordings, and that’s why. I hope that you find it useful.
Today I want to talk about a question I get often, which is, “How do I know when my artwork is done?”. Now most of you know I’m a painter, so I’m going to use painting as an example.
Keep in mind that this advice can be helpful to all visual artists.

Malcolm Dewey on Multiple Income Streams for Artists (Part 2)

It was a great privilege to speak with South African painter and instructor Malcolm Dewey. He is an incredible painter with a true calling to teach. I personally love Malcolm’s courses and recommend them highly.

I’ve broken the interview into two parts for listening convenience, Part one is available now at passionatepainterpodcast.com/episode37.

Living the life of a full time artist is not simple, but Malcolm Dewey has been able to achieve this through many years of commitment to his art. Having started in graphic design Malcolm was attracted to fine art through his love of landscape and nature. Impressionism in its contemporary form is the driving force behind Malcolm’s painting ideas.

Malcolm has devoted much time to studying form and colour to create his paintings. Together with a loose brushwork style Malcolm’s painting are filled with light, colour and movement.

Through teaching his method to thousands of artists worldwide over the years Malcolm has strengthened his painting skills. His aim is to describe his painting with an economy of shape, but without compromising on paint and generous brushwork. He teaches this approach with equal generosity to his art students both online and in workshops.

Malcolm has written several books about the artist’s life. He is a dedicated blogger and contributes to publications like the South African Artist Magazine. His painting courses are popular worldwide and he is one of the top rated art teachers online.

It is in front of the canvas that Malcolm is happiest. Being able to pass this onto his collectors is a personal joy. Malcolm believes that aesthetics still has an important part to play in painting. In an art world where conceptualism threatens the appreciation of beauty, Malcolm is actively creating paintings that will delight collectors for years to come.
