How are you all today? Usually, on social media, I am always excited to share my work, but sometimes artists experience many doubts as well. I wanted to share a little about whatβs going through my painting process lately.
Iβve been doing some sketches and not feeling too happy with anything Iβve been doing. Maybe Iβve reached a point where I see flaws and mistakes in my paintings, so I want to keep correcting them. Iβm unsure if I should try painting different subjects or a different medium, and I feel like Iβm stuck with ideas. π€
Iβd love to get some painting ideas, suggestions, or anything in general! β¨




I recently watched a video by Kelsey Rodriguez, and she was talking about how art is not content. I think that really resonated with me. With social media, I think artists feel pressured to constantly produce something almost every day, but art takes time, and usually, thereβs a lot of thought and trial and error behind it.
I tried doing a portrait the other day, and it made me think about how itβs been so long since Iβve painted a more minor subject. It feels strange since Iβve been so used to paint larger pieces, so it was pretty refreshing to focus on one thing. I think one of the things I want to do is maybe try working with landscape orientation or just taking more time to study some of the areas I want to improve on. It's going to be a struggle at first but I'm feeling confident it will work out in the end π€π€π

I'll be shipping the ROSELLA rewards today! Unfortunately, for LUNA tier, I checked all the Porcelain Garden prints and most of the colours are off. I'm not too happy sending them to you so I am getting a replacement right away! π₯² I'm really sorry about that! I'll send them as soon as possible!
Thanks again for your support, it really means so much to me!
Love always,
Maxine

when Iβm stucked, I love to do something that brings me joy or peace. Itβs often some other kind of art (Iβm an interior designer) like dancing, go to a museum, listen to new music, try macramΓ©, go to a fancy restaurant, watch a beautiful movie, walk through and park and so on ;) this often leads me to new inspiration. Sometimes your battery is just empty - but there is so much art around us, which can fill them back up easily

Writing goals is an excellent idea, and it will keep me motivated! I agree; I think the pressure part is what I need to let go of; instead, I should focus on developing my goals!

It can be longterm or shortterm but i find it motivating when you have something to go towards instead of just doing something for others or pressure in general
