Art Block seems to come in two forms....

First, there’s the “I can create and want to create but I don’t know what to create” form.

This one can be beaten by giving yourself a break or shifting gears.

Then there’s the “I cannot create at all everything is coming out horribly” ‘bad art’ form.

This one literally just requires that you keep ‘wasting’ materials and time and work. Even though you want to throw everything across the room. This version is universally experienced…. Even professional artists have days when everything comes out mediocre at best.

You’ll want to stop.

Don’t.

Usually, it’s right after the point where you tell yourself, “I’m giving up today is just not a good day” that you make good art. It may not be brilliant art. It may not even be very good art. However that isn’t the point.

So. Push until you can’t push anymore….then push a little further.
