fear Archives - Liron Yanconsky

In this episode we’re talking about fears that stop people from creating, and how to overcome them. I don’t have all the answers, but I wish to open this up for discussion and perhaps provide some of my own experience.

I found that one of the main fears are not necessarily external, but rather internal.

For example – the fear of “disappointing” yourself with “another failure”. When you have a bad streak of paintings, and you prefer inaction and avoiding the disappointment.

In my experience, the solution – ironically enough – is to go the complete opposite. To create as much as you can. And to some extent – to disregard quality completely and work on quantity.

That’s something I’d like to encourage more people to try.

I hope you find this episode encouraging in some way. Let me know your thoughts in a comment below.

Here’s the original YouTube video, by the way:

Hi there, Liron here!

A couple of months ago, I slowly came to realize just how many people aren’t starting to do what they like because they are scared.

They are scared of other peoples’ judgement of them and their art.

A lot of people have been hitting me up with message regarding being too scared to paint outside, and having other people see them do that and comment.

A Video From my Business Monday Series

A while back I posted a video on my YouTube channel, about this exact topic. I want to share that with you today (:

The Fear Goes Away

This is my main point here. The fear goes away by doing and getting yourself accustomed to doing.

And here’s the punchline – it goes away much faster than you think.

I felt a little uncomfortable the first 3 times I painted outside – and then nothing. It all went away.

Same for filming myself. That fear was even more accentuated. And sure enough, after 3-4 times of doing it – it went away.

Live Your Life by Your Own Opinions and Rules

Letting others dictate what you can and can’t do is a recipe for a bad life. If you want to paint – DO IT.

If you want to paint outside – DO IT.

The fear will subside much faster than you think.

Artist Corner

Today I talked about Konstantin Sterkhov. He is a Russian watercolor and oils painter.

I didn’t like his oils as much, but his watercolors – AMAZING. Very realistic, yet characterized by very simple color schemes.

You can check out his work here: SterkhovArt.com
