    These are AMAZING. I rarely see artists brave enough to show things they are unsatisfied with. Kudos!!! Also love seeing you not being afraid to paint on the bent part of the paper. I feel it makes everything more dynamic!!

    I loved watching this video, seeing your art and hearing your commentary. I actually really liked the cloud painting, but I do understand the frustration of something in your mind not showing up on the page. When it comes to not wanting to paint or draw, I also experience that at times, and sometimes, I do push through it and find myself wondering why I felt that way in the first place because I start to enjoy what I'm creating in that moment. But other times, my brain-to-paper channel is just blocked, and when that occurs, I sometimes decide it is time to walk away for a little bit. You did what you set out to do, though! Amazing work!

    • @sofiapavanmacias
      @sofiapavanmacias  Год назад +2

  • @Blick_Art
    @Blick_Art Год назад +3

    Great work ethic! Doing some drawing and painting every day, even for just a few minutes at a time, really pays off in improved skills, but it's also a great self-care exercise. We agree also that frequent practice helps internalize forms and subjects so that eventually we become less dependent on reference. Nice!

    • @sofiapavanmacias

    どの絵も素敵ですが特に鳩の絵(5:47)が特に好き。

    Your illustrations are breathtaking! Seeing you paint makes me very calm and satisfied, it doesn't matter if the painting is perfect or not. Also, I can relate to letting go of trying to find the perfect reference. Now I use multiple references for certain details and I'm trying to grow my own style. This is only the first video I've seen from your channel, but I know you'll be a great inspiration for me ❤

    This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and I loved every minute of it❤ your art is beautiful, so inspiring for me. I struggle with my art not because I’m a perfectionist (I threw all perfectionism away quite a while ago ) but because I’m a mom and have a habit of multitasking.

    @Emberchariot Год назад

    I find it funny how people get confused with a portfolio and a sketch book, your right a sketch book is a way of finding your style, so its not going to be perfect at all, however I think people quite rightly get confused depending on peoples skill and talent and my God you are soooooooo talented, you really had no need to be upset with your sky painting, skies are the most difficult thing to paint Canaletto made a whole art in itself out of it, check out his books if you haven't, he's one of the old artists, but he made skies more competent to do. But I loved the colors you chose it relaxed my eyes so much. You could sell that sketch bookend people will give you money for it, cause I would. You really understand puttingg down the initial color of the object first and then doing the dark and then light highlights, Im going to learn a lot from your journey. x

    Ohhh this video is just exactly the encouragement i needed to jump back in today. I have been working on practicing art daily, but stepped away over the holidays. Now I’m all in a funk and free ling that rusty blockage like you mentioned. I love how you articulate your emotional place within your art practice. Your descriptive language is very helpful to me.
    I love how you said you really wanted to “show up for yourself” on the day you didn’t feel like painting and pressed through
    Great video. Thank you. I’m so glad I happened upon this this morning 😊

    I like that sky, you are definitely way too hard on yourself. I have made this mistake myself too, wanting each picture to be ‘perfect’ in a sketchbook. I think that is the biggest block to improving if you don’t allow yourself to produce subpar work on an off day. The fact you showed up and painted on a day you didn’t really feel like painting is a victory, and you should be focusing on that. Heck, I only draw about twice a year anyway, so give yourself a pat on the back for your staying power. 🙌

    Thank you for being so candid with your honest feelings throughout the days working on this project! I really hope this video is seen widely by young artists. Fear of a blank page, understanding and embracing the limits of space- and then the choices to add the unexpected- painting over a crease 'out of the boundaries', the subjects chosen- I'm floored! We try in art ed to preach to so much of what you were able to communicate in a short video, kudos to you. I found myself sort of story lining as new images were created, clearly your art tells a story. Happily subscribed just now, I can't wait to see your next adventure. Well done!
