How to schedule time for your art!

Okay, so you have baseball games on friday, soccer on thursday, Football on saturday, and church on sunday. WELL lets see , What ever the day you have free your exhausted , right? This certainly creates a negative  impact on your time for creativity but  you can schedule this.(>)

For beggining artist decide what type of art  you want to pursue. watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink etc.
If you are out of practice go to You tube and search for some lesson videos to watch and make your decision .(>)
After you decide or if you already know, Get your supplies a week before and be ready.(>)
 First, during the week, while cleaning or doing laundry, set up you place or easel and get your materials ready. Have them on hand for your free day or night. (>)
Plan this day or night, its your day ,  you need it, and stick to it. Tell the family in advance this  will be  your  night . Tell them you want  to do art and you need time without interrruption. They love you and will understand. (>)
Everyone in the house should be instructed to find someting to do ,besides need you. Have the children participate in a quite time. This could be  time to watch t.v. ,view a  video or read a book.Maybe even catch up on home work.(>)
 Schedule a simple meal such as; sandwiches , pizza, or a can of soup. If your lucky you could have your husband  cook that night. Hah!(>)
Sure, the first time  you will be interrupted but don't give up. Have a designated telephone  person to answer the phone , take a message, and tell the caller  you will call them back later.(>)
The first time, try to  work on your art for  at least an hour. If you have to break for an emergency and I am talking about children . Come back and try a few more minutes.(>)
 I also know that when you paint some times the children will want to paint.
This is what I do. I buy the cheap little watercolor 8 colors
horizontal palletes from wal- mart. Get them a little jar of water and typing paper. You can have a t- shirt ready for them or let them strip to their underwear and have- a-it. I mean paint. Some may paint for an hour while others will only last 10 minutes . But this cuts out the pleasssssssssssse mommie for a while.(>)
If you try this once and it does not work, don't feel defeated.
Keep trying and always have a place you can put your work up so it will not be damaged  or disturbed until  you  return.(>)
 Its okay to paint once a week or even twice a  week. But remember this is feeding your creativity and it sometimes is therapy for your person. It will build self esteem and make you a more pleasurable person to be with. You are not only doing this for your self but your family.
Good luck arting. Send me some comments and let me know how it goes!!
