Frustration


I don't think i'm cut out for all this art/painting/creating stuff. I feel quite frustrated at the moment and don't know how to move forward with this painting. I know in my head how i wanna paint...but i cannot do it.
I am thinking about having an art exhibition/sale in November this year....and was extremely hyped up about it the other day.....but i'm not so sure now. I don't want to make a fool of myself.

  1. Aww, don't give up! You can do anything. By the way, the face on your pixie girl painting is absolutely gorgeous!!

  2. We all hit a wall sometimes. Your artwork
    is fabulous..walk away from this one for awhile,
    get a coffee, read a book, and come back to it.
    It will come to you!

  6. She is beautiful...maybe you can darken the edges and add crackle medium...these will give it a little bit of texture...just an idea...the painitng is pretty as is.

  8. Take heart! Sometimes the best thing you can do when blocked on a certain painting is to step away for a while--either work on another piece, or leave entirely and go for a walk or put music on or whatever helps. Often, when I return to the studio after a rejuvenating break, it's immediately clear to me where to go next in the painting.
