How do you not get frustrated in the “ugly” process?
I absolutely love painting (acrylic), I love art in general. A big reason is because I admire the passion, patience and drive that people commit to perfect their craft because oh boy that is NOT me and I am so jealous.
If I feel like painting, I’ll paint for like 5 hours straight and get frustrated it’s not looking good and just quit. It’s like whatever I do I try to do it one sitting, if it’s not, I never touch it again. I get so frustrated and demotivated in the ugly stages. How do you power through that? I’m so impatient with waiting for things to dry too like ugh it sucks. I excelled more in clases and school because I was forced to work on it for two hours everyday and give it the time it needed to dry, maybe I need to follow something like that? I even painted a mural at my school and it took months but I knew I HAD to finish it so I couldn’t just quit.
I really want to pick this up as my hobby again because I’m so tired of doom scrolling and not having a proper hobby 💔 Any tips would be soooo appreciated. 💖💖💖
