What is a painter\u2019s block?<\/em><\/h2>

You probably will have heard of the term writer\u2019s block when a writer has no inspiration and feels blocked to get any words on paper. Most of us think that this applies to already established writers.\u00a0<\/p>

In a sense a painter\u2019s block is the same, but it is likely to occur in so-called beginners or in people who have painted in the past and who would like to start painting again.<\/p>

We live in hugely visual world and when you google art you can easily feel overwhelmed about the many styles and genres. You might feel inferior and think \u201cI cannot do that\u201d. We can become scared of imperfection and feel insecure.<\/p>

\u00a0We talk ourselves out of things that we really would enjoy doing, thus creating a block in our desire to becoming creative with paint. As a professional artist and art teacher I can assure you that you are not alone in this! Let me help you to overcome your fear and lack of inspiration.<\/p>
