Hi Luc,

Can you apply what you said about gaming to your art?

There’s the excitation, expectations, looking for a challenge, wanting to get better, I play just because I want to and not because I have to.

Now… It’s not always all rainbows I can get quite mad sometimes and swear but I can take a short break and few hours later I return back and feel fresh and new.

This is exactly how I feel about making art… If you could apply this mind set to your art work, would that help?

I wonder if that will work, I certainly hope so, Luc!

What is coming across to me is that, with your art work, it’s a fear of failure that is dampening your enthusiasm.

When you ‘don’t care’ if you fail or not, it seems that is the times you succeed.

Let us know how you go on. It can take some time to alter a mind set, so keep going. Make your art simply for enjoyment and pleasure it brings you.

I am constantly challenging myself with my art.  I like a challenge! Sometimes, I don’t succeed, but it was always worth doing, I learn with every mistake.

best wishes

Jay

Hi Luc,

Good to hear this, I’ve been away for a while.

Ah! the distractions!  Oh yes, we all get those as well!  Persevere, it’s worth it!
