hbnestor you can also paint things that wont Be recognizable, I find that takes some of the pressure of perfection away. Paint an interesting shadow in your room. Or your own belly from the perspective of you looking down. Focus less on the objects as objects and more on the objects as things that you are actually seeing, and how you see them, and then it’s maybe less scary
paint over it again and again and again
No pressure, only play and fun
do a whole painting or a bunch of scribbles
Use it when you’re really sad or lonely and just turn your brain off
Learn something new
Then paint over it again and again and again
Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.
