Fear of going wrong...It stops us from experimenting. And we don't realize that it's stopping us from growing.
I have always wanted to paint a rainy scene and fire. But I was always scared that I would ruin my painting. If I were painting with watercolours, I would certainly have ruined it but even when I started painting with acrylics in January, I was so worried about ruining my painting and wasting the canvas and colours. Even though I knew acrylic is forgiving.
But now, I have decided to experiment. Interestingly, the results are better when we are not really bothered about the results. Just try and experiment. So, I painted a rainy scene.
And fire. It's a tiny one but still I like the effect. I'll paint more. Also, I reused a canvas for this painting (as I was not happy with the painting I did earlier).
So, do you worry about the results when painting? Is there anything you really want to paint?

Merry Christmas Tarang! :) I think your rain and fire are wonderful. YES, fear has stopped me in the past, but now I pretty much go for any challenge that is in front of me when I can! Great paintings!!

DeleteHave we met on Haiku My Heart? Your name seems familiar. :)
I think ruining a painting or any piece of art comes with being an artist ... doesn't stop us from trying though as it didn't stop you. Your results are beautiful :)
