Purple Slays Perfectionism #PortraitaDaySA Day 2

This week I listened to talk by artist Ann Rea and something she said struck me... "Perfectionism kills creativity."

Oh boy, do I know that! I've been caught by the notion that everything has to be perfect - I have to inspired, my materials have to be perfect and my workspace has to be a bright, light "pin-worthy" creative space. But I'm changing...

I'm learning to accept that, even making bad art is good practise.

So this evening, for my #PortraitaDaySA challenge, I grabbed a purple felt tip pen and, without drawing a pencil guideline, I tried use a material I'm not used to draw a portrait of myself. It turned into a bit of a caricature but what the heck, it made me laugh at myself.
