You really want to, you've worked hard to develop the skills you have and you enjoy every minute of doing what you love. And besides, people say that your artworks are...nice. Cute. Doesn't that count for something? Sure it does, there is no reason to panic and pointlessly push yourself forward. Enjoy your coffee break!

Besides, even if you didn't like the current level as much, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it at the moment. So many unfortunate happenings stand right between you and your dream. Recognizing any of the following?

2. DRINK ENOUGH WATER

Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted by them, as received by the human eye and processed by the human brain. It is a function of light and biology, not an exact science, no two people can see it exactly the same.

The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors. ]]> projecteducate's Community Week.

Everyone has heard of it, everyone fears the very sight of it, but if you are an artist, there is a good chance it creeps at you regularly, more often than a flu, in various forms and intensity; in psychology, Frustration is a common emotional response to opposition / obstacle, is related to anger and disappointment and its strength depends on the size of the established challenge. When Frustration calls you more often than your mother does, it's time to take an action!

:thumbsup: :devloretana: LANA KHAVRONENKO / Ukraine

Yes, her work will tell you all about her (as her ID says). To create a masterpiece, Lana uses nearly any kind of paint, but mostly watercolor, gouache, ink and sometimes coffee. I'm in love with her portraits just as much as her still-life paintings.

I found myself today with about 20 square cm of an actual physically free space on my table. Rest of it is filled with horrible mass of everything. My photography folders are in the same condition, everything is everywhere, no system whatsoever. So that's my home, my pc and my head quickly follows, disorganized thoughts and inability to focus.

Solution is simple, I need to clean up :)

Event was nicely organized with a very interesting program including Flamenco performance and small concert of three beautiful singers. I am very thankful for the opportunity and a great time. Some paintings have also been sold, I don't regret selling them because their new owners are lovely and talented people :heart:

Please let me know if my tutorials are comprehensive enough and/or when you they need correction, it's the first time I am doing anything like that. If you want more specific tutorials about watercolor, note me with your suggestions.

Dear deviants,

this is a permanent event I'm running since April 2012 on (more-less) weekly basis. I pick one deviant (following the rules of this journal) and I make a portrait for them that is free of charge. If you are interested to join this project, read the rules below (:

I have some information to (hopefully) spread around. Those of you that use Facebook, I would appreciate if you helped me promote my new page :facebook: (http://www.facebook.com/janebeata?ref=tn_tnmn), every  "like" and "share" is greatly appreciated :heart:

Second, I am opened for portrait commission, if you are interested, note me or message me on Facebook. I wanted to do some free portraiture as well, mainly for people that regularly write critiques and give feedback to others, to motivate. I could paint/draw one person a week (from those interested). I will update this journal with more information later :shamrock:

The more I am getting used to devART, the more I understand that it's not just about me sharing my artworks to get feedback. I feel it's equally important to give feedback. I have also noticed that not a lot of people bother to write critiques. Of course, it takes some time and deeper consideration, but those that bothered today got simple free badge from me.  :community:

I also feel the need to thank everyone who gives any feedback on my works.

My thoughtful friends wanted to surprise me with something special, so they bought coupons for horse riding classes. Yes it was raining and very cold and of course I didn't have other than incredibly inappropriate shoes to wear (the ones with heels, any horse would be happy to carry a lady with those on). Luckily someone borrowed me a pair of horse-friendly shoes, but my troubles have just began.
