Just found this song recently and omg, I love it!! Also as an artist, the concept of this song is hilariously relatable. Like you're making a drawing of a certain mood, but in the process you get hyperfixated on a thing with the opposite vibe and it's almost all you think about lol. And you fight the urge to put that into the piece in some way. XD
