I really enjoyed reading this! And I also think I needed to read it… as I very much have felt overwhelmed, so many awesome tutorials – both here in the Academy and on youtube! It’s been so hard for me to pick and choose what to paint.
Will admit that my health has not been so well for a long time, both physically and mentally… That has made me drained, and I procrastinate to start anything…
Love watching the tutorials! And will do my best to pick the ones that really sparks my interest the most, and bookmark them!
Also love the fact that you started the bite-size tutorials! Maybe that is exactly what I need to start with!
Thanks so much for what you two do for the art community!! You’re the bestest!! Art hugs and much love!
