Thank you so much! It’s really worth it to keep trying until you get it right. 🙂

+Brenda Sedore, ah Brrenda I wrote something artistic and it is Gone,
an error wiped it out. Really an incredible improvement, you wouldn’t
know the same hand drew this.
Are you with Matt on Thursdays?

Thank you so much, Nancy! I’ve now been painting for a year and I recently did the same painting again. Now with this one I feel I really said what I wanted to. 😊

Brenda, I am so glad you tried again, the first showed the artist trying to express oneself,
the second one, you knew exactly what you were going to say – And it is Exquisite

( this is good if you have low confidence ) If it doesn’t look good to you , then you will have the confidence that you were right.

Sometimes I won’t go in my little studio because my inner voice says why bother, you will just end up throwing out another piece of paper, canvas or whatever. So I fake it till I make it. I go in and tidy up, look at some of my better pieces of art, some photo references and pretty soon the voice changes to : “let’s try this or let’s try that”. Before I realize I am submerged in some art work and adding to the pile of either misadventures or not so bad adventures. I still don’t have artistic confidence and most likely never will but I still have the motivation to create and that’s good enough for now. Thank you, Matt, for your wonderful classes. They provide a great booster to my motivation and confidence.

I have only recently started drawing and painting (I’m 46), although it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I had this strange notion that it was something you had to start as a child. Your site has helped me to make the leap. Thank you! I’ve been working on my art for 3 months now and I’m very pleased with how far I’ve come. I recently joined an art class and my teacher has been helping me better understand watercolor painting. Regarding “failures”, I had a photo I’d taken in Greece that I really wanted to paint, but I had no idea how to realize the vision I had in my head. I’d only done one watercolor tutorial at this point, but I wanted to paint this painting so badly that I decided to try anyway. It definitely didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I was happy I tried. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try the painting again with my teacher’s guidance. The difference in the two (and the new on isn’t even finished yet) is astounding. I’m so glad I pushed forward and kept trying again. My confidence is now so much stronger, just as you said. I’m refusing to let my “failures” stop me. I am just so grateful that I can express myself with art even though I didn’t start as a child. 🙂
