Every artist suffers from Fear of Failure from time to time.
What if no one likes my work?
I will never get into an exhibit.
My work will never be as good as <insert name>.
Sound familiar? Gotcha, my friend. My thought process usually goes something like this:
(First time I saw this I blew coffee through my nose! It’s so true, right?)
We all go through doubts and fears when making, talking about, showing our work.
I find that viewing the process of other artists very encouraging. I may see an unfamiliar technique, discover a fresh color combination, or notice that I do the same things they do. My go to time-frame is to watch just before falling asleep in the hopes that the creativity I see will hobnob with my own.
If you find watching other artists helpful as well, then you are in luck! I just uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel that gives you a peek into my creative process. Wouldn’t it be great if you find a new technique to add to your tool box or discover new ways to use color, and to build confidence in your own practice?
Please comment, like, and share after watching.
Here is a look at the Before and After.
