Episode 15: How Do You Know When Your Artwork Is Finished?

Creative Type Podcast: Conversations for visual artists and art lovers

Today, we tackle another listener question. Elizabeth asks when or how do you know when your painting is finished.

Lori and Jaime talk about their experience along with practical tips and advice about how to know when your artwork is finished. Sometimes it takes taking a step back to know if a piece is finished. Sometimes pieces are never really finished.

Join us as we each share what we do to determine when a painting is finished. From looking at it in a mirror to taking pictures of it and viewing it on the camera. Try some of our tricks that we use in our own studios.

Usually, in each episode, we include bits of our personal lives into the discussion. Think of it as sitting with your two artist friends chatting about art, the art biz and life. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join us.
