Loss Of Inspiration
I’ve been working on my Susan Pevensie painting for a while now and I’m almost done with it! I’ve basically got 2 more sections to do which would be her chain maille and her bow & arrows. The one thing that’s really frustrating me is the chain maille. It’s very hard to do — I’ve found a chain maille brush from an artist on deviantART, but I can’t use that brush to paint on this technical chain maille. I’m not sure how to successfully paint chain maille, either. I’m at a stand-still with the painting until I figure that out. I might go ahead and paint her bow & arrows, but those should be no problem.
As I browse through a lot of artist’s galleries, I’ve noticed that they have some very creative pieces that they have painted. I don’t get how people come up with such beautiful settings! I can never think these things up and I’m not sure why. I’ve always thought of myself to be a creative person, but I’ve never really been able to think of an ‘environment’ that I could paint that’s beautiful and mysterious or dark and evil. Do you think there’s something wrong with me? I just don’t get how people can think up these flawless environments.
