Have you ever felt Restricted While trying to Create some form of Art ?

Question

I mean, did you ever feel like you are stuck in a certain style/method and it doesn't feel comfortable or you can't create anything good when you try something else ? Like your abilities are restricted ?

Answer 1

Yes, I hate it when I'm trying to photograph a new subject and it doesn't turn out the way i visualized it....you just have to make it work sometimes.  But usually a new setting will give me some kind of inspiration to try something new.  But don't be afraid to experiment with new techniques, you are probably good at it, you just don't know it yet!

Answer 2

Very, by my ability. I did a landscape in oil and looked like a child did it. My watercolours are better but I would love to be better with oils. Took me 2 weeks to do an oil painting of Frida Kahlo. It was ok. Yes I do seem to stick to methods and this stops my development. I don't feel comfortable describing myself as an artist, yet.

Answer 3

yep it happens all the time, writers call it a writers block. Usually i would go to the park and look around, or even go out and base a face on one you see.

Answer 4

Yes, it happens to all artists. Everyone has to find a style that suits them best at that time. Just look at Piccasso`s work through his life and see how his style changed......
