Pros of Dating An Artist

2. Normal Nature

When People see artists be very complex people who have no time for any other thing except painting. But that pre-conceived notion is never true. But great artists like Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gosh and many others all had a relationship. They got married and had children. They are just like any other person with love life and must be seen as such.

3. Inspire Others

So living with a person who works by inspiration can also inspire you to pick up interest. Everything is possible in the artist’s mind, so they work to achieve whatever they set to do. So, you can be inspired by their works and the zeal by which they work.

Their inspiration moves with determination. Once they get inspired to work on a piece, they get determined to achieve it. Not just achieving a mediocre piece but a perfect one, which matches exactly what their inspiration picked.

Cons of Dating An Artist

5. Work Schedule Can Affect You

Many artists can be consumed in their work that every aspect of their life, including relationships, can suffer. If they are passion and inspiration-driven, and once they get the vibe, nothing can stop them. It can be at any time of the day, whether deep in the night or when spending some time with you.

Since they don’t get on schedules, they will jump onto their canvas to get things to happen. So you can’t get the needed attention and time when dating an artist.

6. Money Factor

Many people wished to be on the cardboard, but money becomes a problem because painting is nothing cheap when the rich people who love artwork mostly patronize an artist’s work.

If they can earn big at a gallery opening, but that source of income is not constant. So most artists struggle to make a living. So if you are looking for a partner with a constant stream of income, don’t date an artist.

7. You will  be Very Jealous

Some artists go to the extreme to earn cash. But they sometimes have to do live nude painting for their clients. Seeing your partner draw the opposite sex in their nude form can be a great turn-off.

 

So from that, they interact a lot with people they see as potential clients. Seeing your partner frequently interacting with people, especially the opposite sex, can turn on your jealous nature.

8. Cherish their Privacy

Artists don’t want to be disturbed when drawing, painting, or picking inspiration for their next masterpiece. But if they want to be alone to focus on what they are doing. While they enjoy such privacy, it also affects you, as you would want to spend some special time with them.
