The right mindset and the first moves to ensure success

Starting a painting can be daunting - that blank canvas is like an empty stage waiting for brilliance to arrive! This can be a huge hurdle to overcome when expectations are high. So in this video I’ll share with you how to adopt the right mindset to allow yourself to freely create your best work, and what are some of the first steps you could take on that blank canvas to lead to success. Watch and then let yourself loose on your next painting journey!

Every abstract artist needs to hear this advice. This video is packed full of golden nuggets.
I love catching myself saying (as Judy advises) "nope, its too early in the painting to care, yet". So freeing!

[@Happy2bwoman906]

Very helpful. having my mind on the outcome has been my “issue” my whole life ❤

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Great advice. Thank you 😊

[@RobinGayl]

This is very helpful. My challenge is I often fall in love with my first marks and don't want to cover them up.

[@DeA-ln1vu]

Me too. But I’ve been braver in layering a bit more.

Love this video.. very helpful for me as a beginner ❤

[@nancyarmitage9496]

Love this, Judy, thank you.

[@lyndathomas649]

Thank you so much Judy. This was not new information to me but the ease of your explanation of the outcome versus playing first just makes sense.

[@evelyne7071]

Great idea to work on a single theme on three different surfaces. I’ve done three different paintings on three surfaces before…..but never the same inspiration. Thank you.

[@williesimpson6757]

Innovative

[@leilajones8986]

Excellent, you were easy to listen and learn from, I will try your advice, and look forward to trying 😊

[@kascialelonek8757]

😊😊😊 yes!

[@kerryurech]

Thanks Judy. This was great!

[@mcblakemore3423]

Thank you Judy, good advise. I am new to making abstracts and it is difficult for me not to try to execute a specific idea, but I think that I'm getting better at "I'll just try this" mode

[@judywoodsart]

YAY!!!!!!

[@user-kw3mx4jm9u]

Thanks heaps Judy! 🙏 I’ve heard this kind of approach many times yet somehow the way you said it truly resonated with me to the point I was visually able to see myself going through the process as you were explaining it! Happy creating!

[@judywoodsart]

Oh, I'm so pleased. Glad it helped.

[@judywoodsart]

Wonderful!

[@susanorban3059]

Thanks for this video! It really made alot of sense to me. And doing more than one at the time- well one of them is bound to be a fave😂Thanks for sharing! Going to sub to your RUclips now.❤️

[@judywoodsart]

Glad it was helpful!

[@elinaheiskanen5178]

Thanks for the video. However, I would like to remind you that there are many kinds of abstract art, also very planned and those that have thought work in the background. For example Hilma Af Klint and Naomi Yuki.

[@judywoodsart]

Of course - but I'm really speaking to the beginner who is daunted by the first move. Neither of those two would need this advice I think.
