The inner critic.
We all have one.
You know - that little voice that tells you:
* you'll never lose that weight,
* you'll never get that job,
* no one will want you,
* you aren't good enough.
You know - that voice.
The art journal prompt I was working on today has to do with the inner critic.
In regards to my art,
my inner critic tells me that I can't draw,
that I can't paint,
that I'm not creative enough,
that I'll never sell any artwork,
that no one will want my art, anyway,
that I have no talent -
thus, no one would ever want my no-talent-can't-draw-to-save-my-life-non-creative artwork.
And truthfully, I hear that inner critic 95% of the time.
That other 5% of the time,
I try to remember that my art is beautiful -
even if I am the only person who thinks so.
Truth.
So, take that, Inner Critic!
Who do you think you are, anyway?
You certainly are not welcome here anymore.
Hahahaha!
Now, onward and upward.
For those that wonder, and even those who don't,
I am using a Strathmore Mixed Media journal.
For this prompt I used a couple gelli prints I had on hand,
stamps, copic markers, posca paint pens, microns,
Pitt artist pens, Sharpie fine point, and washi tape.
