In today's video I'll be sharing a recent creative journey towards and then away from artists' block. Join me as I talk about the impact of a painting that didn't go as planned and share the techniques I used to prevent creative block. And at the end of it all we'll have a bright and cheerful painting that's a little outside my comfort zone.

This video is designed with beginners in mind, as well as those who may have experienced artistic discouragement and given up painting entirely as I nearly did fifteen years ago. Together, let's discover the beauty of bouncing back and find inspiration to overcome any creative challenges we encounter.

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 112, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
