artistic process

Artistic process refers to the methods, steps, and creative journey an artist follows when making a work of art—from initial concept through execution to completion.

It encompasses both practical techniques and the mental or emotional engagement involved in creating.

Artists often describe their artistic process in interviews or statements, and it varies enormously: some work methodically from detailed plans while others embrace spontaneity and accident.

Her artistic process involves months of sketching before she touches a canvas.
