What’s your toxic art trait? 😝
Your ride-or-die art material? The material you keep buying… and can’t stop using. And one or more tip we all need to steal from you

@Joleen Jenkin I am the same with the online courses! So much knowledge waiting for me! 😂

Self portrait
Hello everyone! I hope you're all finding a way to be creative today! I started this last night (and stayed up way too late working on it) and it's the first self portrait that I've ever made. It's not finished but I am very happy with it so far. If anyone has made one of themselves, whether realism or abstract, please post below. I would love to see them. If you've never made one, give it a try! Who knows you better than you?

Challenge! Show Up & Create
Most artists don’t fail because of talent. They disappear. So let’s fix that. New challenge: Show Up & Create → 3x per week→ for 30 days→ post whatever you made (finished or messy) Rules: - No perfection - No overthinking - Just proof you showed up - Miss a day? Don’t quit. Just continue. This is about becoming someone who creates. Not someone who waits. I’m in too. Who’s joining?

@Valérie Van Kraaij I was also working with oil pastels today and yesterday. I found out that they can be blended really well with Q-tips. 😅

Sooo, I barely managed my two days of drawing during the week but once I started I couldn‘t stop (appreciating weekends without any plans!). I made a 1,20 m astronaut for our space project in kindergarden. 👩🏼🚀 I didn‘t work on my own projects but I had a lot of fun. 😊 It‘s done in oil pastels.

Downhill
I started a painting today, thought it started out really well and got excited! Then somehow it went downhill and I ended up paining over it completely. See my ‘progress’ and laugh with me about it. Do I deserve a glass of wine now?

Sometimes it’s a relief to just start over. I did that quite a few times and it always came together in the end. 😊

Motivation flop!
Hey everyone, Just wondering how everyone else deals with putting everything out there and not getting much in return?! I’m finding it exhausting to keep posting and trying to build something, and not getting much back. Is this just part of the process? How do you stay motivated? I am loving seeing everyone’s art and processes and perspectives 💕

I have to admit: I am a bit tired of Social Media and it shows in my lack of consistency. But over the years I built some great connections that I wouldn‘t have without IG. So this is what I get out of it. It’s not quantity but quality. Meanwhile I decided to work more on my local network in real life.
