While it may take mere seconds to fall head over heels for a piece of art, the same cannot be said about the creative process behind the finished product. A work of art could take anything from one day to one week, a month, or even a year to complete. When it comes to whipping up a masterpiece, it is often forgotten that it is by no means a simple task. Indeed, they aren’t called a labour of love for no reason!
Much of the artist’s time, labour and skill go into creating their art, and as well as working on perfecting the finished piece, a lot of time is also spent honing, developing and streamlining their methods. There are often a number of different processes each artwork must go through; sometimes these can be quick and easy, at others complicated, time-consuming, and painstakingly delicate.
In this next series, we are going to take a look behind various art-types – from prints, photography and painting, to sculpture and mixed media – to explore their different practices and discover some of the techniques involved in producing art. This way we hope to shed some light on the hard work that takes place inside artists’ studios and illuminate the details we are maybe not always aware of.
