Art that I like. I know I’ll likely never be able to create art like this (I’d lose patience while trying to learn), but I know what I like when I see it.

My goal: Make art I like!

I love making art and creating and seeing what results out of either just my imagination or a few materials. But I also know that I’ve always had a challenge getting the image in my head onto the page. My hands just don’t translate my ideas very well, and they don’t really do what I tell them to do when drawing or painting.

I’m sure at least some of that is due to lack of practice, but I think a lot of it is just my natural state. I’ve always had messy handwriting (though slowing down and being more deliberate has helped tidy it up some), and I also struggle to come up with clear ideas in my head before attempting them on the page.

I’m still learning where the line is between “things I can make happen on the page” and “things I really can’t make happen on the page.” When I try too many of the second type, I get frustrated and down on myself. But when I try the first type, I feel competent and happy and like, “Hey, I can do a thing!”

So the more I learn where that line is, and how to stay on the one side of it, the easier it’ll be to make art I like.
