The Artist’s Morning: A Gentle Start to the Day
Mornings in the studio are quiet, almost ceremonial. Here’s the rhythm that grounds:
1. Open the window, even in winter.
2. Touch the materials — brushes, pigments, paper.
3. Notice the light.
4. Make one mark, even if it’s imperfect.
5. Sit for one minute in silence.
You can borrow this ritual even if you’re not painting. It’s a way of entering the day with reverence.
