My problem with art is that there’s so much I want to improve on that I get overwhelmed, like where to start? Ahh

@twenty-fifth420 3 года назад

Hey I am from the future and been trying out a new medium (acrylics, I am a watercolor painter). I am so used to failing that my philosophy that every painting IS an improvement. Assuming you are anything but a watercolorist, at the very least you have white and can paint over dark lol. Try and do not be afraid to fail/branch out! Art is a lifelong journey, be it casual or professional. So get to painting and good lucky mr zombie spit man.

@roachkid6367 3 года назад

Sometimes I feel like artist block is a blessing in disguise. It's, in my opinion, one of the most spiritual and significant parts of being an artist. The drive to create is so easily interrupted, and this often causes us to drudge up a lot of things that we don't like to admit to ourselves. It's not healthy to rely on familiarity for validation. I think that is where artist block often starts with many. The subsequent fear of bursting your own bubble often leads to self-sabotage and, at times, objectively bad art. I think it creates this secondary drive to improve your own mental state and explore new outlets of creativity that you may not have pursued before. It's pretentious-- but being an artist is a lot more than just creating art. It often means exploring yourself in ways that are unique to you.

Missed you loads Robin, I love your videos so much and I wish you the very best. You inspire me every day to keep creating and trying new things, and for years you have really helped me stick with art. I have been watching your channel for years, and I will continue to watch for as long as you are doing youtube. You have such a wonderful personality and a beautiful voice, you're funny, creative, and you seem like such a lovely person. Thank you for inspiring me to keep going with art and through my personal struggles, wonderful video as always xxx

@fatemehaghaei1954 3 года назад

@Robinsealark Exactly what I needed at this moment . One way to stop art blocking can be copying famous art works and just do a little change in them . It may sound silly but it works and you find some ideas in it . Also , if you have children around you , play paint with them , you'll find it enjoying and also a source of inspiration to stop art blocking (this makes sense because children are more spiritual creatures and connecting with them can open our channels again too)

@miameyer1365 3 года назад

I’m so glad you’re back! My art block is finishing paintings I’ve started. I’ve noticed that if I start a new painting I spend hours on it and “finish” it in one sitting. If I leave it to the next day I’ll never finish it. I can’t wait for oils so I only use acrylic. I have a few unfinished oil paintings, just waiting... I always feel rushed when I paint because I’m scared I’ll never finish it.

@annalenaring6821 3 года назад

Really helpful, thank you Robin. I'll have to watch it over a few times, to fully understand it. My Problem is, that I feel like whatever I create is ugly and senseless. I feel like I'm slowly loosing the ability to create and produce art. It's like there is a bit of creativity left, but I dont have access to it. Even though right now I dont see a way out of it, you somehiw give me hope that this is "just" an artist block and that it will somehow go away.

@sheheeteehee2964 2 года назад

Ahh!! About time. Artist block, seems like abyss, dungeon, and void all-in-one. But I'm still loyal to what my hands are used to, to just draw something random or just scribble. Maybe I'm just overthinking about my life and my future. I agree how you elaborated pragmatism. I'm trying to pull myself together, my mind has been all over the place, kind of lost but there's a thought that always live in my mind... they say, we are born artists, others forget and others relearn how to do art as we age. Now, maybe I'm relearning all, gradually.

I like painting in gouache, could I still get the book and use gouache instead of oil paint? (The technique would be much different butt maybe I can apply some knowledge to the paintings still?) ☺️✨

@RobinSealark 3 года назад

I definitely think it's a cool idea for people to adapt the projects, switch up method or integrate their own reference photos, and could still have applicable information if you're interested. I think it's possible for you to take color theory, drawing and painting technique ideas, project ideas with tips in varied subject matter, and also the color mixing ideas for paintings that you can just translate to a different paint medium- I tried to give varied and rounded instruction, but it is of course up to you!

How are we supposed to have motivation without an audience? I mean when social media algorithm and your country's location matters and I don't get the audience when I know my art is pretty good, what am I suppose to do? Where am I suppose to get them? Even after yrs of effort? Who am I gonna show what I create? That's when everything dies down. I no longer wanna create. I just watch ppl creating..

@TeacupGirl 3 года назад

I hear what you are saying ~ there is such a joy in showing and sharing your art with people that appreciate and it and love it… but do you find joy in the creative process? For me, it calms my mind and soothes a part of my soul that gets very unhappy without the creative mindfulness that goes into making art… so I guess maybe what I’m trying to say is that there is value and worth in the journey of making, not just the end results and whether you have someone to share it with. That being said, I hope there’s at least someone in your life who will share the moments that you want to share with them. All the best with it, and try not to despair, you never know what’s waiting for you around the corner. 🌻✨✨
