Whenever you get the feeling that you need to take a break and relax and do something other than create a new piece of art, that is the time to CREATE another new piece!
Yes! When you feel you cannot lift that brush or that pen or camera or type on that keyboard or ( you get the picture), you need to push yourself just a bit more and just do it. Create something new.
You may try to create a different type or a different style or use a different technique or maybe try a different art form altogether, the important thing is to CREATE.
If you need to take a break because you are bored or stuck in a rut or have a creative block, trying a new medium might be just the thing to get your creative juices flowing again. If you paint with oils, try watercolor or maybe even pastels or a simple black & white Ink drawing , you would be surprised with the challenge of black & white after relying on a full color palette . Maybe, try limiting yourself to only using One color or only two or three?? The results may be just what you have been searching for and it will open up a whole new world for your artistic mind to wander through in happiness and peace.
Try it for yourself and let me know how that works for you. You might find that you have been using the wrong techniques or medium and needed the change to better yourself as an artist.
