Are you failing in painting / watercolor / art? In this episode I’m talking about failing and why it’s an inevitable part of success and the artistic journey.
What’s Failing?
My perspective here is that failing is very subjective.
You may not like your painting, while others may LOVE IT. So – did you fail? That will depend on who you ask the questions.
I think another component is whether the end result matches the vision you had in mind for it. And you are the ONLY person who can say the result didn’t match your vision.
So you’re pretty much the only person who can declare a painting as a “failure” (;
Let’s Get to The Point – Failing is Inevitable
If I had to sum up this episode, I’m simply talking about how failing is an inevitable, inseparable part of the artistic journey.
There’s no learning a new skill, growing and improving without it. It’s just not going to happen.
So you better start getting used to the idea of not getting the results you want.
One fascinating thing I came to realize recently is that we fail at ALL levels of skill. In fact – your skill level is irrelevant.
You’ll fail as a beginner, as an intermediate and as an advanced artist. Even with lots of experience and fantastic work to show for. That’s simply the nature of creativity.
To Conclude Failing
The only purpose of this episode, as well as the original YouTube video, is to provide some mental support for you to KEEP GOING and KEEP PRACTICING regardless of the result.
If you love what you do, see potential in it or simply want to do it! – Don’t let the feeling of failure stop you.
