Pulling the curtains back on my creative journey tonight- One of many Creative goals I set to achieve this year is to be able understand the fundamentals of painting (I’ve been bumping my luck around but luck doesn’t last Long, I know I needed to understand & strengthen my foundation). I took out this picture I found online and given my luck in painting I thought I could nail it without a problem, then that was when the struggle hit me hard when I tried painting for 3 hours and nothing good came out of it (swipe to see the last photo of struggle and the learning process).

I ended up feeling frustrated and disappointed with myself because I thought I could but I couldn’t. Fondant was melting, paint was too wet and it got worse. To be honest I’ve been struggling to learn painting the proper way for YEARS but I’ve never been able to attribute time to learning it or being able to invest that time to learn. But deep down, I know it is one of my goals I want to achieve this year, that was when I reached out to @smxne to ask if she could teach me the fundamentals of painting (straight up talent, needs no introduction or explanation, see her works at @henn.drawn) - and she agreed!!!! Pure joy was spilled all over my face.
- We spent an entire day learning the basics of differentiating colours, shadows, accents, highlights- how to mix and change colours, see how edible colours oxidise and how to combat that, with a few intermissions talking about life as a small business owner. I can’t explain how grateful I am for that day. You see, business sometimes can get really tough but if you surround yourself with the right people, they will always have your back and be proud of you as they watch you soar.
- I don’t say this lightly, that having a good mentor guiding you in what you do is so crucial. I’ll never be able to pick this up on my own if Seemin didn’t graciously dedicated her entire day to teach me- she was extremely reassuring as she was guiding me and what I love about her approach is that it is always so forgivable.
