Well this painting was a bit better than the previous attempt but still much farther off than what I would like. I don’t think I will continue this one, but this is not the last portrait I’ll paint, not by a long shot.
I really don’t have much to say about this one today, I usually think of something but honestly I’m just enjoying doing art daily.
I think I’m finally getting to the point where I’m comfortable with the journey, the plateau of continuous work with the feeling of improvement being far off. I know it’s going to happen, it just takes time to get there, I’ll keep working.
I believe that any artist (no matter the method) MUST always strive for improvement and understand that perfection will likely never be achieved but be willing to continue efforts regardless.
Thank you Cate! I agree 100%!
