So, how do you handle criticism? I, of course, laughed it off seeing as he doesn't really understand what art journaling is all about. But, it did hurt for a bit.

Dealing with Criticism
Tam, Willowing.org, had a free lesson called "Feeling Feelings Through Creativity!" Of course, I went my own way, but I was really happy with this until my hubby came into my studio and asked why I was painting an Indian. Then he asked if I knew how to divide the face up so that my eyes wouldn't be crooked! Talk about bursting one's bubble. I was so happy, and now I am vaguely sad.
I used acrylics, Neocolor 2 crayons, Posca white marker, Pitt pens, white gel pen, graphite crayon, Dystress and Tombow markers. I added some bits of a pretty napkin for the designs.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Tracey.
DeleteHe was doing the best he could as a non artist. Guess he would have thought Picasso was horrific!!!!! Hashanah. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI know he didn't mean to hurt me. He was just trying to be supportive in his own way. His way isn't too great though LOL!
DeleteThe image is charming and whimsical and breaks the rules…..it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Chavela. The more I look at her, the more I love her. Maybe it's kind of like the "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree!
DeleteI really love your use of color and texture--I am intrigued by the words you've mixed into your artwork. This is a lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth. I do love adding my own feelings at the completion of a piece. I never really know what will pop into my head before hand though.
