The Right Mindset

This post is not about my project; instead, it's about my mindset. Producing a BFA thesis project is a big deal. It will be a lot of work. It will result in long nights. It will not always go as planned.

Today, I lined up these progress images of my current painting project for Jason Lahr's Multilevel Painting course, and the comparison actually surprised me. In the early stages of this project, I lamented to my professor that I didn't know how to paint, that everything was trial and error. Now that sounds silly to my own ears. Of course I know how to paint; trial and error taught me how.
