4. One of the best art advices I was ever given (thanks Peggy) is Remember to see what's there. Notice what IS there. Not what you think SHOULD be there, or what you WANT to be there. In art, as in science… If u decide what ur gonna see before you look? You're not actually looking #ArtNoteToSelf

A deliberately unfinished colour pencil drawing of a small nail, a beech leaf with a feather threaded through it, and a paper match torn out of a match book. Underneath are the words "is the sense of loss worth it? I think so." in scrawly handwriting. The leaf and feather are the unfinished parts, being only a graphite outline. The nail and match are fully drawn in detail.

3. Resting isn't optional when you're a spoonie, but it's worth stopping a minute anyway Give your brain a rest for a moment, and you'll see a drawing differently when your face isn't smooshed up against it working (This is even more important to do in the face of a deadline. Gah.) #ArtNoteToSelf

(And this may be a hangover from birdchan, but… Before anyone sciencey yells at me, I'm a scientist as well as an artist. My PhD is in pharmacology, yes I do in fact have sci experience. TY.)
