A few weeks ago I started taking a weekly art class. It’s been great for me to connect to my creativity in a structured way. I have 41 so much about my creative process and I’ve only been in the class for 3 weeks! I can’t 42 to see what else I can learn over the next couple of months.
This week in class the focus was portraits. The 43 had us put a big blob(滴) of red paint in the middle of our paper, which was used to 44 the shape of the model’s head. She told us to use black and white paint to 45 where light and shadow were hitting the model. We had 15 minutes to 46 the painting. The idea of this exercise was to work 47 and not get bogged down(困住)by thinking about each brushstroke(一笔).
We did three of these 15—minute 48 over the course of the class. Each time, mid-way through, I was convinced I was doing a 49 job and I should start over. However, 50 tearing my paper up, I breathed through the discomfort and 51 each painting. And guess what?! A face 52 on the paper. I started each painting with a big blob of paint in the middle of the 53 and over the course of 15 minutes somehow I created a(n) 54 . In a way, it was magical.
It got me thinking. When I’m in the middle of a practice process, I sometimes feel 55 . Everything feels muddy and uncertain. It’s a very 56 time, often filled with self-doubt. In fact it’s 57 that in the middle of a creation we are uncomfortable-----you could 58 say that it’s natural or unavoidable. You will 59 it. Believe that you won’t stay there forever. 60 uncomfortable, that “in-between place” is simply a part of the creative process. If you keep on, you will succeed finally.
