Artistic Perseverance - Finishing Paintings You Don't Feel Good About
15This is another video about a psychological/emotional aspect of creating art - on the topic perseverance when painting. In other words, pushing forward and finishing paintings that you don't feel good about for one reason or another. There are many reasons I've experienced, like a poor initial outline, concept or composition I wasn't crazy about, or even just getting flustered by my own brushwork or technical skill. I find that, even if I don't like how paintings start, I am at times rewarded for pushing through to the end. Not always of course. In fact, maybe just barely half the time. But that's certainly enough for me to want to see how they end!
