Painting On Hold

I’ve been putting my painting activities on hold for many reasons. First, is that I put up paintings on sale on Etsy.com, but no one bought them for over a week. I don’t feel that my paintings were good enough. I didn’t put my blood and sweat into making it look nice. I’m just a beginner. I only spend 1-2 hours per paintings. I didn’t like my paintings all that much. So I’ve decided to put it on hold and do sketching in my sketchbook instead. I’ll only put my artwork on the canvas after having those ideas sketched onto my sketchbook. I also don’t have that many funds to keep buying canvases if they don’t get sold. I can only buy more canvases if all the paintings get sold.

I’m still grateful my first painting got sold. Otherwise, I wouldn’t continue painting. I only felt motivated to continue because my first customer bought my first painting. I’m very grateful for her.

Same goes for blogging. I’ll only blog once in a while. My blog doesn’t get much traffic so there is no use to blog every single day.
