So I'm done with Find Your Joy. This is what 12 weeks of painting looks like. Very mixed feelings. The course has definitely led me to explore a different side to my art, it's open doors inside my head. But I think it had the potential to be a lot more than that and it did not deliver what I had hoped. It wasn't the right course for me. I'm a representational watercolour artist with some experience. The course claimed to be for everyone - no matter the experience, the medium or the style. But I think it is probably best for beginners who want to explore abstract acrylics. Also I thrive best in an environment where I can make connections with a small group of people. There were over a thousand participants, and I just felt I was a number, not a real person, which was disappointing. Still, I painted a lot, I discovered a lot, I pushed through, I saw glimpses of where I want to go. Let's see what my art looks like in a year's time. Which reminds me, did I even set goals for myself this year and should I set them for next year? I think I will keep it simple.
