Hi everyone,
I decided to run a little ‘tips for Monday’ email series for you.
It will be in your mailbox in every second Monday.
Just have a coffee or tea or just start your day with a big jar of clean water
these letters will be very short but maybe you can find it useful or interesting or inspiring.
Here is today’s tip:
Every painting has during the creating process an ugly stages where you can feel that it
would be great to trow the canvas or paper on to fire but I suggest you to keep going and
everything falls into place and clears up.
In this early stage you can have a little break and continue with fresh eyes.
In the meantime you can take a photo.
When you look at your piece in digital version rather than in real life, you start to see things differently.
Try to examine together with the reference photo side by side.
If you don’t have reference photo turn the painting upside down. This helps to notice easily if
eg. a simmetrical object like vase are failed.
Did you noticed that there are this kind of ugly stages? What do you do then? Do you feel it is waste of time or money?
Don’t worry I felt the same but I don’t like wasting materials so I kept going. SO never give up
Wish you a wonderful week and happy creating.
big hug
Ildy
