Today I wanted to talk about one of the challenges of a blank sheet of paper.
Often when we have nice art materials that have perhaps been quite expensive or hard to come by,we can feel too scared to use them in case we quote-unquote mess them up.
Of course this is just a block monster stopping you from making your art by making silly excuses about the expense of inanimate objects.
Wasting a few materials is nowhere near as bad as wasting your precious time and talent.
When I ran an art venue and gallery, we were often donated unused art materials from people who had died.
Seeing all those pristine sketchbooks and boxes of materials completely cured me of my habit of being too scared to use mine.
So I'd like to urge you to go and use some of those art materials that you've bought but been too scared to use and share with me what you create with them.
I'd love to see it.
