sketchbook tour, mixed reviews lol
Another sketchbook tour, because I think it’s important to normalize the fact that not every piece will come out the way you imagine. In fact, some of these pieces I downright hate, some I couldn’t bring myself to finish, and some are among my favorites I’ve ever painted.

A question I get a lot when I do my live painting sessions is how to improve. The obvious answer of ‘time’ is not very satisfying to most people, for reasons that are also obvious, so here’s another answer: embrace making things that suck and trust that they’ll become better. Anne Lamott calls this concept the shitty first draft, albeit as it relates to writing (another arena in which time and embracing suckage are critical lol). Espeeeeecially if you are self-taught!

For other drawing/painting meditations, come to my lives! ✨
