Artists are tender, loyal partners who want a relationship built on acceptance and shared experiences. They show love quietly and sincerely, and they need a partner who respects their freedom and appreciates them for who they are. Pressure and harsh criticism make them pull away, while patience and acceptance help them open up slowly and fully. They are loyal, attentive partners who notice the small things that make their partner happy and quietly provide them.
