Are you an aspiring artist that hasn’t picked up a paintbrush in months? If so, ask yourself why.
Do you leap out of bed in the morning, embracing the day, or do you arise to just another long day to get through? Sometimes life sucks! We all have our story, and we all react to life experiences differently. We may not always control what life throws at us, but we can control how we react. Sometimes the best response is not to react at all. It’s called apathy.
The dictionary defines apathy as an absence of feeling, concern, interest, or emotion. Apathy is a state of indifference. Not to be confused with laziness, apathy embraces a suppression of emotion, interest, or concern. An apathetic person manifests no motivation, excitement, compassion, or empathy for anything or anyone. They express no interest in the spiritual, social, or philosophical aspects of their life’s journey.
Aspiring artists often start out with acrylic paints. However, acrylics can be quite frustrating: they dry extremely fast, and color intensity changes with acrylics when they dry. Maybe you started out with acrylics, practiced with colors, values, differences, composition, and layers; now you are ready to try your hand at oil painting. If so, read on for some helpful hints and hacks. READ MORE
