Do you ever get stuck when your art hits an ugly or messy phase of the creative process? Is it difficult for you to push past these (perceived) set backs to end up with a successful painting/collage at the end of the day? Me too. In this video, I demonstrate how to keep going through the mess to end up with something that feels good. Don't let the time lapse fool you - this took a few hours and there was a 3-4 week gap in the middle!

I kept going for 2 main reasons: (1) to get practice turning the project around and (2) to prove a point: the more practice we have turning things around, the less scary it becomes when we find ourselves in a rough spot. Once we get used to these rough spots being a normal part of our creative process, they become a problem to solve which is often a fun, satisfying part of the process.
