Here’s what I think. Many people believe they are no good at drawing and painting because they stop too soon. They get to the ‘ugly stage’ of creating and think it’s not working and give up.
I say ADD TWO MORE THINGS! It’s double the opposite of what Coco Chanel recommends – “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off”.
Each month in the Shiny Happy Art Club I release a new painting, and at the end of it I tell you three things you’ve #accidentallylearned by painting with me. It’s these learnings that you can then draw on to be your “two more things” to get you through the ugly stage and out the other side.
So if you’re more Iris, and less Coco, I think we can be friends. And I’d say consider joining the waitlist for the Shiny Happy Art Club. Enrollments will be open for a week in November. There’s no obligation and you might just find the #artfriends you’ve always wanted.
