Chuck Close’s Daily Routine



Chuck Close is nothing short of an inspiration. The American painter, artist, and photographer has been a creative force for several decades. Even when his spinal artery collapsed in 1988, leaving him paralysed, he continued to be one of the most prolific, not to mention disciplined and sought after artists around. The key to his success? Well, it’s likely a number of factors, but one of them must undoubtedly be his routine. In fact, he could seemingly work anywhere under any circumstances, and did so every day. Close was interviewed for artist Joe Fig’s book Inside the Painter’s Studio, here’s what he had to say about his routine, we hope his words can inspire you to get creative! “On a typical country day I am painting by nine, and I usually work until noon. Three hours in the morning. I will have lunch either at my desk, or if it’s nice I will go to the pool. Or if it’s really nice I will go to the beach for an hour. Have lunch on the beach perhaps, and then I come back and I paint from one to four, another three hours, and about then the light is failing, and I am beginning to fuck up. So then my nurse usually comes at four, and I stop working, clean up, have a big drink, and that’s a typical day. I work every day out there, every single day.”
