There always comes a time in painting when we get stuck. Sometimes it's from to the beginning, other times before we are done. Either way, it can always be very frustrating and time-consuming to try and resolve these problem areas in our paintings.
One thing that has really helped me these last few years is to take my painting with me while I'm working out. Even just taking a picture on my phone and having it present while building up a sweat works just fine.
Generally the harder to work out, the better the results. Why? When we are going through an exhausting workout, we are very present in the moment. We have to stay presents to push aside that hard, and in return it can get us hyper focused on our artwork as well.
The main exercises I use to help get to this point are lifting weights, running, and HIIT intervals.
