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.
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!
Maybe I'm going to easy on you since I don't know what direction you have in your head... but to be honest? I think that painting is pretty fab as it is :)
Thanks Beth. I still have a way to go with it.....you know when you just know when its finished :). I think kate is right....i've hit a wall....and then the confidence tumbles!
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. Think positive :)
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.
Aww, don't give up! You can do anything. By the way, the face on your pixie girl painting is absolutely gorgeous!!
