I was feeling you today Erika. It is awhile since I have tackled anything of significance and after preparation of the drawing, selecting paint colours and beginning the piece, yikes, I don’t think this is going to be as good as my previous works. Taking a break away after doing one and a half stones, I need fresh eyes and after having a good nights sleep. It has been quite warm here so I haven’t been sleeping as well as I’d like. Thank you for another inspirational video.

Thank you so much for this video. Perfectionism has held me back from painting. Would it be possible to have a link to the written transcript? I would like to print it and reread it.

Thank you for this video. I relate to so much of it. Can you tell me please what is meant by “shipping” your work?

[@ErikaLancasterArt]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching. 💚 "Shipping" is a term author Seth Godin uses which refers to finishing your work and putting it out there. It's about putting yourself through the practice consistently and "publishing", in whatever way it means to you. Here's an interview where you can learn more about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHeXY5WbjdaieNEsi=uWl2PSSwsacPoH50 Enjoy!
