I've been hitting the books pretty hard the last week or so. I'm learning about composition, negative painting, setting up an online store (website), and marketing strategies for artists. It's so much information in fact, that I'm having absolutely no time to do anything art related (even sketching)! Add to this the Christmas season is upon us and forget about it :P I have so many ideas jumping in my head, from drawings, paintings, learnings, gifts, gifts to make, supplies to get, that my head is spinning!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving all the stuff I'm learning, but I find it hard to switch gears from reading and making notes, to being creative. It's ironic isn't it, considering that what I'm learning should improve my ability to be creative?! I'm not sure why it is, especially as the books, etc I'm learning from all keep pushing for the reader to practice, try it out, work it through, etc.
Maybe it's because I'm learning from home, working at my own pace. I want to get all the information in before I sit down and try to apply it. Sounds kinda backwards doesn't it? Ah well, you've pretty much summed me up right there :)
Anyway, I have so much stuff that I'm learning and that I REALLY want to share with you! This may take a few more weeks, but I promise to send out some interesting information your way soon.
Happy creating!
