There is this thing, called “The Artist’s Curse”, and I have it and I need to keep reminding myself that I have it and I am okay. LOL! Basically, it is the phenomenon that makes artists unable to see their art as any good, no matter what other people may say about it. There is a nifty video about it here. I watched it a long, long time ago, but I forgot about it and, just a few days ago, someone directed me to that video, again. And, once again, I was shocked at how well the artist who made the video knew me and was oddly comforted knowing that I am not the only one and that I will be okay with it. So, I am now ready to tackle this coming week.
I have been working on my commission, learning to use my camera, taking photos, and playing in my art journal and sketchbook. Here is what I can show you right now:
A barn across the road from us, taken in manual mode in a misty twilight with full 26x zoom, low f-stop, low shutter speed, and low ISO. I don’t know if I will ever take notes on my exact numbers.
I will post some of my art journal pages in another post.
Have a good week.
exists to create art which reflects the beauty and the glory of God, to use art to comfort and encourage people, and to inspire others to pursue the arts.
