Don't force it

in #art7 years ago

"No one confines his unhappiness to the present." - Seneca 

Early on I learned that using force to create simply does not work for me. I remember getting frustrated seeing others just sit there, perfectly concentrating on their work almost without any effort or care in the world. I could not. Smell of paint would put me off, creaking of the wooden floor would put me off. I would go home and redo everything in my own little world without judgement of eyes of teachers over my shoulder. 

Need for space, no intrusions or distractions and no pressure.

Song of the day: Hurts - Somebody to Die For
Thought of the day: Allow yourself little bit of freedom; Too much white noise
Tiny happiness of the day: I have something to look forward to

That's why i love art. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you.

So true. Inspiration and motivation cannot be forced. Further, we cannot let non-creator untrue our thoughts or consume our energy. Art is a gift we give to the world. It's harder than people realize.

It is indeed a gift. I will never treat it differently.

Thank you crystalize!

Art is the expression of the soul. We just need to let it be and feel the moments as it is.

I agree @yimiipsa. I try to capture those moments when I actually can create, when it feels right and natural.

@m31 - I hope that you realise that there is nothing wrong with that! You are an individual and are more than entitled to do your things, in your own way! If the outside world holds too many distractions, and you find solace and creativity within your own space, then so be it!

Do not worry what others think or even say. You carry on being you... for you!

ok :)

I do realize it. I also think that I am a little scared by those earlier pressures and judgments.

Thank you for encouragement. Steemit has helped me a lot. :)

really impressive Art like it!!

Thank you so much!

Love it! Really pretty ❤

Thank you so much for your kindness @supernoval! :)

Forced everything is bad! I've learned to be happy with the way I'm drawing and enjoy the process of creation and creative thinking! Your drawing is amazing by the way! Love it! :)

Thank you. I have been forced and pressured before, the result is never great. It is hard to push yourself forward sometimes too and sometimes it just falls right in my brushes and pencils ^^

I understand it very well...sometimes I have this really cool idea to draw but can't force myself to draw it...now I stopped forcing myself...if I wanna draw I do it...if not then it's ok...Nothing bad gonna happen if I post drawing by couple of days later....I didn't went to art school(university) I learn as I go :)...And drawing is my hobby...it is like meditation for me...that's why I just wanna enjoy it...and not schedule it for posts :)

Same for me and even I distract myself from drawing haha :D so i take brakes every 10 minutes :P
would love to hear your opinion on my latest post and art. i hope you like it :)

Welcome to Steemit @jb-design. I love your art ^^

I sometimes take brakes from whatever I work on if I feel I do more harm than good.

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful painting!
