“Just finished this for now. Does anyone else not like their art immediately after it’s finished? For me, I have to step away and not look at it for a little while to love it haha”

“Just finished this super fun acrylic painting. Almost finished- I want to fix the yellow circle but I am impatient. How did I do?? Ive been painting ever since I can remember but I really want to start taking it more seriously. I would love and appreciate advice- and if anyone wants to DM and see more of my work to see if it would be worth any monetary value? I would also love advice and opinions to see if some of my work (or even this piece!) could be in a gallery. I love to write poetry on the”

“I've been drawing my whole life, so I know the best tip is just to practice more. However, my most recent painting(not finished but I'm too discouraged to finish it) is so hideous I started questioning all my skills. It literally looks like a 5 year old could make this.
