I feel like burning my brushes...
I'm sure that some can relate to what I've been feeling as of late. I know that artist have slumps, but my self worth as an artist has taken a nose dive over the last few months. I've had times in the past that I've lacked inspiration, but this is totally different. Not only am I lacking inspiration, but I'm lacking desire to paint. I've tried to force a few paintings out over the last few months, but I find no joy in it. I feel like my work is becoming boring and repetitive. It feels like I have no direction anymore. I don't know where to go from here. I can remember the excitement I use to get from putting brush to paper. The wonder of what my next stroke would reveal. I can't seem to muster even a fraction of that anymore. Everything I seem to paint just seems to say "More of the same". I've tried to think of new directions to go, but I've seem to have lost my passion for it. Ug...I just feel like burning my brushes....

When you paint the separate values..do you let each hue dry before putting down the next one? Otherwise it'd all just blend together, no?
gah! I wish I had as much control of watercolor as you do!
I have one watercolor painting in my gallery. Its called "Hands". Come check it out and tell me what you think. Your opinion would be very much appriciated.

Some artists like Chuck Close plan each value out to where each shade is outlined and numbered.
Ive been looking at ur gallery, but I just cant seem to tell if thats your technique or if you paint the values by eye.
Either way, ur one of my most favorite artists on the DA. Your way of painting is amazing.
