Show Notes
There's a fine line between preparing and procrastinating! This week, we answer a listener question about why it can be so hard to actually sit down and make art.
It's not that we don't want to. In fact, we might be happily stocking up on art supplies, organising our creative spaces or watching art videos. But when it comes to putting those ideas into action, something holds us back.
So what's going on here? That's the question Richie and I are musing on this week. Join us as we explore why this happens, how to recognise when preparation has turned into procrastination, and what we can do to shift our focus back to making art.

I'd love to say that my journey as an artist has been a smooth one, filled with joyful painting and effortless learning, but I think we all know that's not quite how things go!
What is flow state, why is it so beneficial for artists, and what can we do to create more opportunities for it to show up in our creative practice?
Marketing is a tricky part of running a creative business. It can feel pushy, icky or simply like a chore — but at other times, it can be surprisingly interesting and even fun.
In this episode, Richie shares a simple mindset tool for checking in on how we’re doing. Are we flat chat and edging towards burnout? Or have we eased off so much that we’re starting to disconnect and stagnate? It’s a helpful way to find that sustainable sweet spot and keep the spark alive over the long term.
Are you a lover of lists, a creature of habit, or more free-flowing in how you go about your days?
