Have you ever put a ton of time into a piece, only for it to start to go completely off the rails? What do you do when that happens?
In this acrylic painting, I almost got stuck in a sunk cost fallacy, reworking and repainting parts of the background that weren't working while I was trying to make them right.

A little comment about shelving art at 3:15. I've had SEVERAL albums that took over a decade to write because the "time wasn't right" to work on it. Or some other thing just wasn't vibing. There are a few albums that are in limbo right now that I'd love to get back to but just can't muster the right energy for it. I think it's super important to know when to let something simmer on the back burner for a while.
This is such a good talk!
I do watercolor and the second I realize that something isn't what I want it to be, I stop working on it and either 1. move on to something else, or 2. start again since I can always transfer the original drawing to new paper. I'm not gonna waste my time messing around with something that isn't working, and I don't mean the ugly stage since a lot of art has the ugly stage. And I'm not going to finish something for the sake of finishing something. Starting from scratch or starting new saves time and psychological trauma. It's okay to give up on what's not working and begin again and I feel that this mentality is liberating. It's okay to screw up and it's okay to start again, even if you've spent 10 hours on it. This isn't the last art you're going to make. (In high school my teacher always told us to "never fall in love with your first idea" but to develop it, and that saves my brain, too.)
It reminds me of a piece I did in pastel where there was a ladies face in the center of these colors and I messed up the face, so I tried to color over it with yellow pastel because she had yellow hair but I couldn't make the face go away completely so I wiped away some of the yellow pastel and the face started to come back. I ended up calling it a color study which is what I call some of my failed experiments. I gave it the name Blonde Mona Lisa and may yet go back and see what can be done to help that mess turn into an interesting art work. I didn't use a lot of time on it because pastel can give very fast results and sometimes its a vehicle for my impulsivity. You can make something that looks pretty cool very quickly but also ruin it just as fast.
You seem to have fared much better than I did with my situation. Your painting didn't look that great to me either until you added that background and it somehow put the face you drew into context and made the whole drawing look great.
I actually liked the painting better before I put in the background. The portrait was strong, but needed a dark background for contrast. It's just, the background I chose was mediocre. Haha
I hope if you take a second shot at your pastel piece that it goes well for you!
I think free your darlings makes more sense to me, if you keep them in the nest forever they never see the world and the world never sees them.
Oh that's a much better phrase!
Hey :) did you mix the colors yourself or did they already look like that? Btw i love your style of art
The pastel tones already look like that! They're Turner Acryl Gouache in the pastel set. I love these paints because it's hard to mix this kind of tint and keep it this vibrant, so having them right out of the tube is super convenient
