Brookes Eagleston shows how spending a week doing concentrated studies and focusing on creating a sort of "retreat" to go and study art can be extremely beneficial. As we see, thanks to Brookes's routine structure and making sure keeping distractions at bay (such as doing meal prep early, no social media in the mornings, having designated art assignments and periods), Brookes was able to make significant progress not just in improving aspects of his work, but also creating a "positive feedback loop" of getting excited to make art and giving himself time to rest and reflect rather than churning and burning out himself. So I thought why not do the same for me and my art?
