One thing that helped me was to have a routine where I would paint every day at a specific time whether I felt inspired or not. When I feel like I'm getting into a rut I'll change things up and paint outside or go someplace new. I end up talking to people that I normally wouldn't meet which is totally different than working inside by myself. And I agree...music definitely helps!

It's ironically inspirational to hear the masters admit to their inner struggles too. Never give up I guess.

I don't think this lesson only applies to painting, but to life in general, and thanks for reminding us in such a nice way. It's easy to rely painting to muses, talent or just "let's see if it comes better today by some magical chance", but at the end of the day it's mostly discipline and work.

I haven't built my persistence unfortunately, but I do love Roy Orbison 😀. I noticed the painting of Venice you didn't care for was just signed Colley. Was that the reason?

No actually, I sign all the demo’s I do for workshops just ‘Colley,’ to distinguish them from Studio pieces.

Great material. But, hold on! Second book? I have "Creating Impressionist Landscapes in Oil" but can't find a second book via any search I can devise... or is that the second one?

My second book is called: Impressionist Painting Made Easy, it’s only available available second hand now as it’s over 14 years old; but you can look at my latest eBook here: tucsonartacademyonline.com/colleyebook?fbclid=IwAR1en7PE0oH9CHayQS1lP84VQcT4fFKU1WpUIl_UI0HQ2x9PLS6dlc_WTxA

Such solid advice Colley. Music has been my lifelong pursuit, with painting being my stress relief valve. Persistence as a painter is similar to being a musician, in my case, a guitarist. Trying different things, many times in front of an audience, has been both harrowing and rewarding. :) I think curiosity is also important too as a necessary thing to fuel ones progress. The discovery of a new aspect of painting or making music is really a joy and so rewarding. Thank you so much for all that you have shared! Regards, Ted Hawkes

I am horribly judgmental of my work. I’m fearful to put myself out in public as a result. So it’s great to hear some encouragement to just keep going.
@colleywhissonartist

It’s important to try and develop a thick skin, actually painting in headphones (if you’re in a safe environment) is great, because you can edit out the audience. I like to listen to music, so I feel I get a double whammy, isolation and it helps me focus. In my early stages I’d draw for one month and then paint for one month, this helped me build skill and confidence in my work. Unfortunately our expectations are difficult to live up to. So I like think my disappointments aren’t as bad as I think and maybe my successes aren’t as good as I think. Keeping a healthy balance.
