Painted the whole day saturday and the result was a piece of shit.
If it I would have been on paper i would have burned it. Lousy stuff any 12 year old could do better.
I was totally convinced that I should stop painting at all.
Today is a bit brighter. But i need some kind of guideline. I did too much studies the last half year and that gives you a wrong feeling of confidence. It is not enough to be a half decent copy machine if you want to do some original stuff from inside your mind.
I definitely have to do more stuff from memory.
Not sure how i go from here but i think i will try to always accompany my studies to at least the same study from memory. And maybe i should go and work more on studies like they are thought in the Hoghart, Loomis books than taking any photo i like and copying it.
I will not continue on my bloodsport 9 stuff. The feel to waste hours on something that will look like crap is too strong. I work fulltime and have family the most of hours i can paint regulary is about 2 hours a day and i wont waste those time on something i am not convinced of.
sorry for the long rant.
if someone has a good hint for a study plan i am all for it.
