RE: Artist Confessions #2 (Don’t Watch Me)

in #art6 years ago

It is always a bit uncomfortable to be watched while painting, but as a mural painter I got used to it. The problem was that people often wanted to chit-chat so I would yell down a thanks from my scaffolding when they expressed their appreciation.

Sort:  

My god, you must get loads of viewers! I bow you for your ability to deal with that 😁

And before murals, I painted theater sets for 14 years and often had to work while somebody else was hammering away at something or generally making a racket of one sort or another. So I learned to tune out surrounding noise. Now if people are giving you advice, it can be irritating. But I always figure it shows they have interest - better than indifference!

Damn.. No wonder you are habituated by all of this. Thanks for your advice though <3
