Hi all, I am the student Chelsea speaks of in this video. With all the formal training I have gone through, no one has gotten me closer to my goals than Chelsea. Her mentorship program really zeros in on a student's particular roadblocks. I have seen her give direction to other students and the results are amazing. They go from tentative paintings to bold, confident work they are proud of. Signing up for her mentorship program was the best decision I ever made in my journey to become the artist I have always envisioned.

I heard someone say for you to get motivated you have to be innovating. Most people think art is about rendering an image well. But that's just an aspect the reality is, exciting art is always innovative. For me, this means taking inspiring elements and melding them together to create something that inspires me. Not just recreating a photograph, or something like that. I think that is what held me back more than anything. Breaking barriers often has to with our own source materials and how we combine them.

Chelsea, good one as usual. I don't comment often but do watch often; this one speaks to me. We all "struggle", it's just "part of the deal" with being an artist, and a human, I guess, really. We mostly live by emotion and not reason, hence the world's problems today and throughout history, I guess. Enough of that but for me I've always wanted to do art, since a child, now in my 70's. But I got my degrees in science, not art, since I did "want to eat and buy a house" when considering college and careers. And I've also painted all that time, starting "seriously" in grad school in the 70's, with animals, since that's what my scholastics were all about. So, here's a "news flash", young uns, it never gets "easy or simple or straight forward", especially if a "professional"; it's the process of becoming creative. Not Everyone can do it, and maybe not you! I often think of the mythological guy pushing the big rock up the hill, Sissifies (sp.). Or the pro baseball pitcher. One day you throw a no-hitter, the next time on the mound it is a seven-hit drubbing, including two homers, and a walk, for you in the second inning!! LOL ;D I'm talking about traditional and representative art, now, requiring the "honing of skills"; and not that "other kind of art". God only knows what that is all about!! :D LOL Just look at the bios of all the great historical artists like Sargent, for example. He did do portraits and they sold well, made him "rich" for the day, but he came to hate them and the people he painted mostly, saying it was a "good way to lose friends" to paint for them. Yes, the commission is the "666 of painting" and if you make your living doing them you will come to realize that sooner than later. Especially the lousy reference or other things you mentioned. If you have thick skin and really "don't care about people" it can be good, it's just a job then. Since most of my "portraits" were wildlife subjects, I did care about them, except as a species on this planet that we were harming, and my not a "personal acquaintance". I've painted in all genres and all mediums and have settled, for now, on oil landscapes, occasional quick portrait sketches since it's important "for the eye", (as you know, hence my interest in your channel), also some plein air. So, they are easy to do, are all around us, cost little to get to, and never talk back to you, or break into tears if you mess them up. LOL. Happy holidays to you and yours too.

I was hoping I would recognise myself in one of the roadblocks, but I didn’t. I just don’t feel inspired anymore. And when I feel a tiny glimpse of inspiration it’s like a have an inner voice that says “what’s the point, it’s gonna be an unfinished rubbish anyway, like the other 10 you have laying around in your studio”… 😢

Art is the ultimate end boss battle. 👊😬 When I have beaten the end boss down to his last 5 hit points, he morphes into an even bigger and more powerfull opponent. 😤 He, who we call "art", is not one, he is a legion. ☝😑 Everyone brave enough to conquer him, faces his own opponent. He's a cunning trickster, too. He pretends to grow stronger and more fierce with every skill the artist achieves. It is as though we chip away bit by bit from the iceberg and with every bit more and more emerges from the depth. And just when the brave artist thinks he's got it, suddenly out of nowhere art launches a hard right uppercut with the new yet so close art area of sculpting with clay. 😵‍💫 My ego thinks it's cool to have skills that are wicked hard to achive. Like dancing, baking, cooking, playing the violin, and drawing and painting. How I wish I had a simpler mind only interested in lifting weights and building muscles to impress girls. 💁‍♂

I have been in this situation before. Try locals schools during holiday time You can pay in money or in kind (helping out during term time). Hire someone's garage for a 2 or 3 month period. Think outside the box. Even join a local class if you have one and see if you can leave the painting at the venue between times. Your local art society may have the perfect room, who knows until you ask around? I have painted under a canopy in the garden before, but the weather was warm and still for days on end. I will be keen to see what suggestions Chelsea has.

Check out Phil Starke, he has You Tube vids on all aspects of landscape painting, his specialty, with demos, compositional tips, exercises and does take students if you want. Google Phil Starke artist, I watch him almost daily as he posts, he's been doing it for several years so old ones as well as new ones available. Good guy too, lived where I live in Tucson, (yes, also check out Gabor Svrcek of Tucson Art Academy as well) but now in Georgia. BTW, doing some portraits/figures are excellent for All artists to know, that's where you learn how to draw. If you can't draw very well, then all your artwork will continue to suck, extremely badly, in any genre!! Good luck!

Letting go of perfectionism, and creating just for yourself, remove pressure and allow to relax and create freely. Developing self-confidence is essential for the artist, to see your own dynamic growth and stand firmly by your internal vision (“artist statement”) throughout artistic evolution.

I, for some reason, think art is a useless waste of time and objectively I know this isn’t true. The creative process is part of everybody in some form or another! It is also work. It starts out fun then becomes a string of frustrations. I want to change! It’s over serious! I have a lot of supplies and a ton of time and been told I’m good artist…. Why I have started and stopped my whole life. Kind of the story of my life. Discouraged by frustrations . Soooo…hypnosis to make me embrace frustration? Ave you ever seen that show with dozens of art students in China making masters copies? How does that make you feel? Makes me feel soooo average at best. How do you divorce yourself from what others are creating?

So easy to do, without having to paint them even!! I "learned to hate horses" after accepting doing a commission of one on, of all things, a big milk can. The horse's head is "wonky" enough to get right without having to be doing it on a cylindrical surface as well!! I still love zebras though, and have painted many of them, over the years, but all on "flat supports"!! LOL
