Painting isn't always easy especially if we make the most common error an artist can make. So, what is it? And how can we stop ourselves from falling into the trap?
In preparation for this video, I asked you lovely viewers a question about how you felt about your art. Whilst some were pleased, almost 70% felt a little lost. I'm willing to bet that most if not all will have fallen into the trap of focusing on the outcome of a painting so much that we're almost doomed to fail. In this video, I explore the need to focus on the joy of painting. To enjoy the making of art without worrying about the outcome. As soon as I learned to do this my art improved dramatically. And yours will too!
I used Bob Ross oils for this tutorial but you use whatever brand you have to hand.
