if you only knew Karin, the biggest hurdle that most really good artists have is believing in themselves, all by themselves and I speak from 30 years worth of experience I would absolutely to see your face when one of your works (englarged, of course) sold for several hundred dollars (can't remember at the moment the currency you all use in Australia) but you get the idea!! All you need right now, is a gentle shove in the right direction!! money in your hand will do the rest! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to this, but I am up to my neck in work in the real world, and just cannot allow myself more than a few minutes a day on DA, right now.... infact, right now, I'm really quick answering a few comments b4 I go to bed ... Nite Nite back when I have more time (p.s. I'm going to put a on your other comment, so that you'll know I saw it, too)

Hi Alice, so true what you say. There is so much good art out there, that it's no wonder most artists, even those who are accomplished find it hard to believe their work is good, unless it sells. Most artists, at least at first, have to sell their work very cheap, or not at all. Were it not for passion and encouragement, many would give up.
Anyway, I appreciate that you take the time. I appreciate the kind words.
Karin
PS. Sorry, I'm going to be rather busy for the next 10 days. Maybe then things will settle down slightly. Cheers,

I really enjoyed in a looser style. It's very quick and natural. I think I might try a bunch of exercises, painting various subjects in the style of my flyer. ( quick pencil sketch, with a quick wash, and finishing off with pen and ink)
Usually doing many small exercises and working quickly (and practicing this every day) is probably the best way to loosen up your style.
Putting a time limit on each exercise, as you would with life drawing, will also be good. For instance you could do 5 one minute sketches, then 3 X 2 min sketch, then 2 x 5 minute sketch/ wash, then a 20 minute drawing, wash with ink. Apparently that forces you to focus, and disengage the left side of the brain, and worm more with both sides of the brain.
