Thanks, good advice is never too late :)
I hit the wall pretty hard, but most of it, was just me expecting too much of myself, once I realised it's not going to happen as soon as I want and started being kind to myself the wall kind of crumbled away.
I'm trying to do a mix of studies and finished work now, but the finished stuff is only things I /want/ to do.. so in a way they are rewards for myself, because I love painting.
And I'm not looking at my timed figure drawing etc work, I do them, I see the mistakes, I try and fix on the next one, but beyond that, they go in a pile and I forget about them, because I was getting really down on myself over them.. and it's not helpful to beat myself up, I'm just a beginner, I can't expect stuff to look good!
