Love it, Ella! Pressure really dampens the joy of making. Sometimes I think it's unavoidable and we have to push through despite feeling pressure because of deadlines and commitments. It's helped me to accept that the process can feel miserable but it doesn't mean the art is necessarily worse. Alternating these moments with the more intuitive, expectation-free art making moments pushes me forward in my practice I think :)
Yes, totally. I really feel I have accepted that feeling uncomfortable about the art I am making is an inevitable part of the process, and that you just have to keep going, and get to the end. And even if you’re not satisfied with the results, you will have learned something from it - even if it is how not to do something! X
