development. A means to an end and not an end in
itself.
‘Don’t die with your music still inside you’(Dr Wayne
Dyer) - or your computer come to that. You’re
unique and that also applies to your art, so don’t let
your creative masterpieces languish in a folder on
your computer, never to see the light of day.
Be courageous and show it off - the world needs
to see your artwork. If you’re full of self doubt (and
let’s face it all artists are at some stage), the best
place to get constructive criticism or support and
encouragement is in Sebastian Michaels’ Awake
and Kaizen Facebook groups.
I got such wonderful support for my series
when gripped by a bout of artistic insecurity.
I treasured the valued input and opinions of
likeminded creative people. I am truly grateful that
as community, through the digital social media
platforms, we have the opportunity to reach out
at any time. It is easy to question ones ability and
become highly self-critical when in the thrall of the
creative process. We all need interaction from time
to time, especially when we are working in isolation.
Never give up - Photoshop is such a huge learning
curve and the rewards of putting in the practice are
priceless.
DeeryhenDalduckymurHave fun...always. If it’s not going well, give yourself
a break or start on a new image. Artists used to
sharpen their pencils when trying to find inspiration;
we now rearrange our folders! Come back refreshed
and with fresh eyes- you will get there!You can find all this amazing artwork available to
