Diane O I just started painting 6 months ago, I’m lucky an that I have many paintings that I love but I’m afraid to show them,sell them...it’s frustrating.

Diane O Don't let that stop you from making your art! When i get stuvk that way, I think of it as an experiment. Give yourself permission to make something ugly on the way to making something beautiful.

hey Diane, thanks for sharing your story! I hope you're doing well.

Diane O I am the same way as you

Such a good idea! :D 👍🏻

mixing all compliment colors could be interesting also

Mee Ow they will just turn brown

I TRY :D

I was gonna comment dat lol

してくださいもっと私を愛 thank you!

Watercolor Misfit Amazing 😉 I have had similar upbringing and just YESTERDAY, acknowledged that perfectionism is my biggest flaw! It’s crippling- sending you a big hug 🤗 😍

Thanks :D

Great questions :) - I have not used Finetec Or Kuretake yet. Most of the other questions are answered on my blog with some in depth tips - www.watercolormisfit.com

Wow same! I also have the same problem due to my upbringing by my parents. Nothing ever seemed good enough and I was never happy with my work since it was never good enough. Just like how my parents love to tell me that. It's a bad mindset but I'm glad you have a system to get rid of it. Maybe I'll find my own way to get rid of it. Also the painting turned out really well! Even if I'm not really a fan of that colour

Brilliant work. I love your style very inspiring. I suffer from fear of success and fear of failure. It's paralyzing sometimes. Thank you for your work it's therapeutic for me.

FunctionofLight One aw thanks!

Visual Mind aw thanks 😄

Elise O'neil I’m so sorry to hear that. But I know how you’re feeling - very same story as you. With a family member being a Narcissist on top of the man made legalism. It’s definitely horrid. I was really debating about sharing my story as anxiety was saying no. But I’ve been floored to see there are so many others dealing with this that I feel the only way to help others is to open up. I appreciate you sharing your story and being brave to do so!

Watercolor Misfit It may also make you happy to hear that after watching this video I did some painting that night. The result was ok, but what was important was that I actually did it and told myself it was alright if it didn't turn out well because you need to practice to get better. I'm going to try and paint once a week, reminding myself it's not a waste of paint and paper if it means my next painting will be better, and after enough bad paintings there will start to be good ones. More good news, my girlfriend asked for my ring size to start looking into engagement rings :) Life can suck, especially when you're hardwired to be anxious and expect the worst from a young age, but there are moments that make it worth persisting.

Elise O'neil you have too much patience😀 To write this!

You just described my whole life

Hemlata gupta same my family expects me to always be that bright student I was I can't reach their expectations I have been so stressed about this problem now if my mom tell me to study I don't even want to touch the books but couple months back my mom didn't even had to tell me to study because I already was

jiuya7 thank you so much!

thanks for sharing your story :)

SylveonDancer89 DIYS/games thanks for the love!

thank you for sharing your story :)

I can relate I am an 11 year old that always tries to impress others and to stand up to myself at the same time.I started out to be a sweet girl that loved playing along and sharing but after I moved to another state I just couldn’t get used to it,kids liked to take advantage of my kindness and how I behaved.So when I realized that they were taking advantage I stared to stop being the kind girl that anyone could push around and started to push them around if they tried to push me around.And when I started to like art I tried my best to make a perfect masterpiece and become famous,so I always tried to impress others.I always expected so much more of myself and others.later I started to lose friends and became lonely.Now the only friends I have are,the nice girl that always is there to cheer me on and pull me off the cliff of disappointment and my drawings.

Gabi King thanks 😄 yeah definitely taking baby steps - one at a time helps and to just “experiment” with things seems to help remove the anxiety so there is no expectations. You can do it 😄

:) Thanks - yeah when I first saw the color I was like...okay this is gonna be interesting 🤔 But I like how it turned out :D

Thanks! :)

No problem...

Thanks so much! :D

Thanks :D And yeah I agree - the color is really a great soothing neutral :D

Catherine Murray thanks!

Ask friends if they have any paints they don’t use.

Debbie Diaz thanks 😊

Kendra! Aw thanks 🙏🏻

hey Lisa, thank you so much! I needed to hear this. This is pretty much what I'm going thru now to a T. I have a family member that is Narcissistic, according to my licensed counselor and was indoctrinated in a legalistic home. It's only recently that I've begun to start breaking free and my hope is to help others who are stuck in whatever situation they are in.

Watercolor Misfit Exactly the same in my life!! I went to a Pastor/Licensed Counselor for 3 years and I made so many great strides! I once mentioned to my mother, "Did you know you raised 5 perfectionistic kids (there are 5 children)??" She said, "Oh, is that bad"? I didn't know what to say because some of the perfectionism is good for things. I was also raised very legalistic in a Christian church and it made me so unwittingly naive that I made MANY huge mistakes in decisions because of not knowing what "love" really was. I wasn't taught finances either. I was left wide open for abuse, and it did happen, many times. I've been made fun of because of my mistakes but they were because of the way I was raised. They always say, "Your parents did the best they could", which I do NOT believe. Everyone else saw the "nice" side, you were taught how to act properly in public, and since I am the youngest, I saw the most of the "not nice" side. Now, if I get a chance to talk with younger people, and my grandkids, I let them know things that I had to learn in my 50's, just recently. I am now, though, in a huge state of depression and not painting not doing anything at all. I have to pray a lot of times for the devil to get out so I don't hear his self-defeating words shout loudly in my head. I've found books by Corrie ten Boom, her most popular was "The Hiding Place", about her family hiding Jews in Holland, going to prison and the concentration camps we heard about. She lost all of her family but then "tramped for the Lord" all over the world teaching people the things she learned. I have around 24 books she wrote and am trying to find the last few BUT I've learned *SO MUCH* from her about love, peace, joy, fear, worry, etc., that I now love myself and am free of a lot of things I was taught. If you get a chance to read her books, DO, because they are so helpful. She shows you a prayer on how to cast out the devil, demons and spirits that keep people inturmoil. Hope this helps. Carrie, I am praying for ya. I'm the one who told you I also have PCOS. Anyway, love y'all and thanks so much for sharing this!!!! Huge hugz, Tree

mistyfog24 aw thanks! And yeah tough very similar story to you. Often doing the opposite of perfectionism is helpful to me but it’s definitely a constant fight

Marshmallows_4_Me 😊 thanks

I still have a problem this problem too! I tend to be to critical of myself - only seeing the flaws when I'm done. I'm currently trying to refocus my negative critiques and keep a log of where I could improve for future illustrations. I also try and keep a log of everything that went well in the current one! I guess trying to balance the positive and negative in some way :) It helps me for some reason :)

that is exactly how i feel too!

I'm the same way, I've gotten better at not doing this over the years but it's still a constant struggle. Especially whenever my Dad asks me if I'm going to start selling prints of my art or do commissions for others. I love drawing and doing art for fun, but that's it. I also have a hard time accepting/believing compliments and trusting others, but I know where that comes from. Stay with it and try not to care what others think, especially when it's not done in a constructive way. Criticism is fine, so long as it's constructive and you can then learn and grow from it

Heidi Ramos thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing!

I hope it helps you forward in anyway. Dont let their view of perfectionism become your trap. You are good enoug. You are worthy enough. Don't let anyone take that away from you. If you need confirmation: Just look at your yt channel. It is YOURS. YOU MADE this. Hugs. And if you need someone to talk to; find me on fb. I do have two accounts but the active one uses this very profile picture. I'd be happy just to listen.

PennQuill aw thanks

I only speak the truth ;)
