B. The Nah! Stage

Nah! I can’t do that!

This blog will feature 4 sections specifically designer to challenge the biggest hurdles I faced. It will help you make it work, and build your strength and confidence as you step right outside your confidence zone. Artists don’t adhere strictly to any specific rules or guidelines, genres or trends, and this blog doesn’t need you to do that.

Topics include building your knowledge and gathering facts, ideas and concepts together to prepare you to create original paintings and drawings, that show your concept of perfection. Not copies. Not advertising images. Your own unique work.

This blog post features different ways to access your natural artist abilities, and highlights some ways to overcome roadblocks. After you learn about the blog post’s featured artwork and how it was developed, you’re then given the chance to view related art projects.

There is a challenge in this blog post: start and keep current an artists diary. It will feature some elements of your background and include quotes or phrases that are a reminder of your thinking at the time, as well as details of the steps you are following.

This will let you refer to all your original and clever ideas well after you are finished with them. You will use them to inspire and impress you at a later date.

Check out these, good bad and ugly, extracts from my artists diary:

◾ The Evolving Style of the author

◾ The Human Aspects of My Past Life

◾ The Glass  Was Half Full.
