I love all your work, but I must say I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen you do! Everything about this is great and I love the grunge/gold mix! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree no painting is perfect, some of my work in progress painting, where more popular in fb groups, then the final artwork, what I need to learn is, Putting more hours and more details in my artwork, it doesn’t mean it necessarily make it better to others, b ut I don’t regret it, as this is part of the process, and that is the learning curve, that we all need to go through, to get better, because if we stop to early you will not get better with details, It’s about knowing when you done, and move to the next painting, Something that I struggle with sometimes😉
You are talking about me!!! Ugh, I use to have soooo much fun and now that I am selling my art I am always second guessing myself. You have given some really good advice that I will try and remember. Your owl is beautiful!
- I am one to look at my finished pieces, especially if they're ugly. I note two good things and two things that need improvement. The ugly ones are great because it pushes the limits of this method. You only get to pick two things to improve on, even if there's more. And you have to come up with two, even if you don't feel the second one is that important. A couple months down the line I will see it differently, and possibly identify different things. And if it has served its purpose too many times, I can try to remaster it. - A method I employed was finishing my pieces up to a set stage. This only works if you have a divisible process. I have sketch, base shape, base color, shading, and refinement as the stages. I just stop at any of these points. Unfortunately there's no way to skip some parts, so having a handful of works in progress can help you practice on something ready to go. - My cat spilled water on my practice paper, warped all the pages slightly. The quality doesn't matter going in, and I stop subconsciously focusing on perfection.
Great video, great ideas. Love your videos and your approach. I usually don’t go for perfection but to release my emotions and thoughts depending on the moment. This is what keeps me going. Freedom and experimenting. Your work is very inspiring. Thanks so much. Blessings and take care.
Learned so much from you ..and I love this painting... My animal painting has improved do much since I discovered you ...and it's great to know you also have doubts and unnattainable perfection issues😅
Beautiful piece. Do you worry at all about the integrity of the paint over the leaf (peeling), or does it seem to be adhering fine to the whole ground?
So, this ugly phase..felt that. You have more experience to know *what* to do to go from ugly phase to the next step. I think I'm still in the confusing period where I don't know what that next step is. Is it another layer? Is it refining the ugly one? Often, I just set it aside and debate inhaling an entire can of spray cheese to comfort myself.
Oh man I SO felt this comment! Especially the spray cheese part hehe It’s a very good point that you bring up though, it can be so frustrating. I think sometimes we have to accept that not everything will turn out to be a masterpiece (or at least what we had imagined in our minds), but the important part is that we learned something from it. And sometimes that learning is what not to do next time haha
