❤ Thank you for this. When stuck, growing plants from seed is really fun…you’re not necessarily creating “art” but you’re outside, paying attention and having an invested interest in a goal and learning new angles and lines. Also, following other artists whose work you love is great because sometimes you get gems of advice like this!

This channel was sent in my direction. Thank you. I'm either crazily prolific or nothing. Once I accepted its this way, blocks just go away. And yes. I diversify and go in all new directions.

Muchas muchas gracias!!! You are a GREAT TEACHER.

Thank you ..this came at the right time for me. I’m on holiday and have plenty of time and it’s foul weather.. why wasn’t I painting? I’m going to take your advice and try to paint faces, and loosely and quickly and see if it works. Something quite different for me.

I havnt had an art block for years, I think its because I draw so many different subjects and use so mmany different mediums

I think what can block you is if one KZfaq teacher says just work with THIS material and the other one says just go this THIS material. This can stuck up.

Great info. Lots of wonderful suggestions here 🤓 However: There’s NO SUCH THING as “creative block”. It’s just (another) excuse we use. (Ever heard of “accountant’s block”? Cashier’s block? Doctor’s block? Mechanic’s block? Of course not. There’s no other area where “I am waiting for my muse” is an allowable out. Doctoring is very creative. As is being a mechanic. In many cases, some wd argue so is accounting 🤪🙄. You either want to do “the work” (writing, painting, drawing, whatever) or ya’ don’t. Call it what it is. You said it yourself, “it starts to SEEM difficult”, good gawd, people give up the slightest sign of difficulty. Saying, “I’m not feeling it, I’m blocked” just lets you off the hook. I live by the phrases: Don’t wait for inspiration, write (paint, draw, whatever) for inspiration. And: The more you write (paint, draw, whatever) the more you’ll write. It’s incredibly simple. Anyone who has ever been successful in their craft doesn’t let some flimsy, BS excuse get in their way.
