I wanted to put this video out there because I am sure I am not the only one who puts pressure on myself to get an art project to look “just right”. In the past, when I have gotten stuck is the process of creating, if I let myself sit and think about options of how to proceed for too long, it actually leads to “getting blocked”—where I will go for an extended period of not creating at all. Over the years, I have learned that I need to keep moving—doing something artistic that may not have anything to do with that current project. Painting swatches or going to a bookstore and looking at art magazines seems to do the trick for me at this point in my life. My point is, don’t beat yourself up. Keep moving in some way. You WILL get past whatever project has you rattled. This is all part of the journey.
I had a lot of fun painting this in my sketchbook. I want to thank all of you who are watching this video and joining me on this journey.
