went to a paint night
| im never doing this again. who's stupid idea is this exercise in masochism
| ugh now i feel like shit and im trying to be normal and not ruin things for everyone
| ugh and now im being patronised that mine looks "great" and "surreal" and they would totally hang it up
everyone else has paintings of a river wending through woods under a stormy night sky with like 8 different colours in varying shades and i have a midnight blue sky with streaks of incongruent murky whatever. idk why i thought this would be a good idea
| tldr dont do anything you're unfamiliar with in public settings it fucking sucks
| Sometimes art is not about looking good, it's simply about expression
You may think no one will care about your painting/drawing, but there are tons of "bad art" that are remembered constantly and looked at with fondness
| this is just self esteem issues
| Try again and it’ll be a little better
| Good job going out of your comfort zone. Sometimes it'll feel sucky but if you keep it up it'll eventually feel less sucky.
| >gives up after the first try
Meh! Double-bubble-cobble-meh!
Refresh
| i feel retarded. everyone else can follow directions and have great looking paintings and mine just looks terrible
