Not feeling inspired to paint? No worries, it happens. The other day I had that resistance to starting a new work. The solution? Do a few paint sketches on scrap card or paper. Go through the motions. The first one is a mess, the second one is better. Feeling inspired? You can carry on or stop here, knowing that you have done the work. You have control. Watch how I put this "unblocking process" into practice. https://youtu.be/ESOa6q6mkZA
