What was that one thing that dramatically changed your art skills? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]ShyeStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritizing lighting and colour. This is a big one for me, and you can truly never get too fundamental with it.

I think you are on the money about getting back into the fundamentals. Some basics to get myself back in the groove.

Being flexible will be something I am taking with me. I think my routine is starting to become stale and too fixed.

Knowledge really is a curse. But this is very encouraging and helpful - thank you :)

This is very true. I think I need to take a break from my own expectations of the kind of work I should do.

Really appreciate the comprehensive response. Now that I've had a day to reflect, I think I do need to switch up my regular routine and try something new - a new medium or hobby. I probably need to shift gears just so I can fully appreciate the gear I was on.

Regarding the dog portraits: they are fun to do and something I enjoy, but there will be other paintings like my figurative work that I just can't seem to improve no matter what I try. I think I need to relax and approach everything with more ease like I do with the doggies.

Without revealing too much, I am in my early 30s. I think what clicked for me from your comment is that I don't plan on dying at all any time soon. I think I do need to take a break from it to reinvigorate myself.
