Welcome to today\u2019s art episode, and today we\u2019re going to talk about striking while the idea is hot. What we mean by this is not sitting on the idea too long before you execute on it.<\/p>\n

Some of the things we discuss:<\/h2>\n

Inspiration can be fleeting<\/h3>\n

inspiration can be fleeting, and the initial excitement around an idea might diminish over time.<\/p>\n

Balance of Idea Development vs procrastination<\/h3>\n

There is a balance. Sometimes when you have an idea you want to let it percolate in your mind a bit to become more formed. But when you do this for too long you are just procrastinating.<\/p>\n

Avoiding Procrastination<\/h3>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s better to just start and go with the flow.\u00a0If you don\u2019t work quickly maybe do a little sketch or find some reference just so you make the idea more real.<\/p>\n

Learning Through Taking Action<\/h3>\n

If you do just start you will learn through action rather than pondering a million possible outcomes in your head. If the first piece doesn\u2019t work, try again. If you decide after a few attempts that you still don\u2019t like it at least you know you tried it. You can just chalk it up to experience and who knows something you did or learned might work it\u2019s way into future art.<\/p>\n

Momentum and idea as you work<\/h3>\n

Ideas tend to develop as we work so you will probably find that your idea will develop as you work on it<\/p>\n

Setting Realistic Expectations<\/h3>\n

Sometimes we don\u2019t take action on an idea because we love it so much we don\u2019t want to ruin what\u2019s in our imagination with what comes out on paper. We have to accept that it\u2019s never going to be perfect in our eyes<\/p>\n
