We also briefly discussed “frustration”. What do you do when you are frustrated with your Art process? How do you know when to power through or let go of a project? How do you start when you are overwhelmed by your ideas? What do you do when you don’t like how something you are working on is turning out, follow through or quit? These are important questions that will come up for most Artists. While I don’t have any universal answers or magic potions to offer, I can tell you some of the things that help me along with frustration in my own Art practice. I hope we can exchange more about this and other topics in our next session.
