Not being confident in the process distracts focus from the thoughts or intention of the subject…
How am I supposed to focus on emotions and meanings if I’m not evening sure which way to hold my pencil/brush? ;p
there is no right or wrong to hold something… jhees… to hold someone for that matter… anything! if you feel comfortable with the way you hold your brush, arms away from body, stretched like bird taking off, open spaces can be filled with emotions and meanings, one thing leading to another, comfort is the key to success!
The point is that I don’t feel comfortable. I feel unsure about where to start the next stroke etc. I’ve been thinking that the best way to build my confidence is through practice, so I’ve started spending more time on my art. Just to tired after work sometimes though.
I’m also converting the spare bedroom to an art room, so it’s going to be my own personal space. I’m thinking that it will help a lot.
