For those of you who watch my livestream on a regular basis, I know that you will be tired of me talking about this.

This is one of the best pieces of advice that I have received about creating art, I use it all of the time, and if has saved more pieces than I can even count.

Whenever you want to give up on a piece, keep working for 10 more minutes.

Right away, don’t stop and come back to it later, because we all know that that won’t happen. Keep working on it. Work on a different part, a different layer, with a different colour… whatever you do, keep working on it! 9.8 times out of 10 you’ll see new life in the piece… at least that’s my experience.

Give it a try… let me know what you think!
