Stop saying you can't paint you can its just the medium your using.

One of the things I have found with being with people and sharing my learning's of painting up a doll its all about the medium you choose to use. So many people get stuck and they think they can't paint and they are the problem. I see that so differently its not the person it's the medium. Everyone is different and we are not all made up to be the same. We must find what works and feels comfortable. I have tried so many different mediums until I found just one that felt comfortable. Then I just played with it and really I had to get to know it. Yes I mean get to know it. Hi my name is Barbara and I want to get to know you. How do you mix and how do you flow. What if I add this and that. What if I change my paint brush. Write down what you like and don't. Sit with a piece of tile and feel that paint flow off your brush. Then look at your stroke. Is there to much paint maybe yes ok I will keep trying with the amount of paint. Second is the stroke to hard, ok let up on the pressure. The biggest part is feeling confident and comfortable and last practice.
My next video is more informative on the mediums I did use and what I use today. All the whys and what I was looking for. Also I will share with you the medium I use on all and I mean all commissions. Never shared it with anyone only because I didn't want any outside influence saying I couldn't. I have found over the years when you are trying something its not always a good thing to share. Sometimes but not always. It can stop your creative flow with yourself and you won't expand on your idea. Do it for yourself and experiment research, practice and take notes. Don't reach out until you feel your in alignment with yourself. If your not then you feel not sure of yourself, giving up on your idea or just give up or here's the big one I'm not good because I didn't go to school to learn it. Don't let that thought in your doorway LOL..
See ya soon.... hugs
