I want to be an artist.I want to create art, show it and sell it!But first I have to learn the technique, how to use the material, what material to buy, what paper to use.A ton of excuses not to start right away.I have to watch lots of videos, because if I have this doubt, then other people have had it before me.And that's where I fall into the trap of content recommendations and instead of creating, instead of doing, instead of trying to fail! I prefer to be passive and watch a sequence of videos that reassures me. Yes! I feel ready for anything, now I have all the recipes I can apply!But I don't apply them.Why? Because I keep looking for the ultimate video that will continue to feed the fantasy of the artist I'll never be.I've been that person, and today that's history, I've set myself a challenge with objectives, to paint every day with the same palette.Constraints have one advantage: they allow me to spend less time on preparation. I pick up my tools, turn on Spotify, set my stopwatch for 20 minutes, and dive headfirst into the dizziness.30 paintings, for 30 days, using only 6 oil pastels.I've done 11. It's a failure.No, it's not a failure, I wasn't aware of it yet, but that's precisely why I took on this challenge: to fail.Thanks to this challenge, I realized that I liked painting people, painting situations, painting contrast, painting movement, painting silhouettes.I realized that I really love to paint.I'm an artist.Not because I sell work, not because I'm represented by a gallery, but because I create every day.
