Painting Process

I have found in the last year or so of being an artist that sometimes you come across blocks and ways that your creativity might need a bit of a boost in order to create something. Often, staring at a big blank white canvas can be very intimidating and the fear of "ruining it" or making a mistake while painting a new painting can be very real. I found myself dreading starting a new piece because I would always be confronted with this fear, especially when I didn't know exactly what I wanted to paint. Just "starting" became the hardest part of the creative process. In response to this intimidating feeling and inner critic that is always looming in the back of my head, I decided to just start.
