That man makes me want to paint even though I have no skill.

I don’t want to do landscapes, but I do want to paint things. Things I have no business painting, because.. my family got the good skills, I just sort of do my best..

But who cares? Machines have takes over our creativity so where I used to fear being imperfect, now I don’t. Id love to credit Bob Ross with that confidence, but it’s how broken society is now, instead.

On the plus side. I have some great mixed media ideas I will probably actually do now that quality doesn’t matter!

    Never knew I liked painting, until I tried painting minis. Found I’ve got a knack for it and it’s really enjoyable and I love making something I get to show off. Honestly I’m terrible when I’m trying to accomplish something, and find I do my best work when I go in completely blind, no vision or forethought. It’s crazy. I enjoy projects I just wing so much more.

    Love it! Thats great! Minis are so fun to paint! I wish i could afford so many of them! Or a 3-d printer!

    I have a dragon I’ve been sitting on for a decade. I think its technically an ice dragon, i started painting it like a nature dragon, but never did much with it cuz it never felt right.

    Maybe i’ll do it. Maybe I’ll paint the epic love scene on my table I’ve been toying with.. life is short and why not?

    Got any more work you wanna inspire me with? 🥹😜

    Yeah, I have plenty of unfinished projects as well. Started painting a set of Dune Imperium minis that still remain unfinished 2 years later.

    I’m better with gifts I can put a deadline to

    This one is based on someone’s cat complete with fur pattern

    Those are aweosome!

    I can relate to having a deadline for a project, i made this for a friend’s birthday, they loved it but it was rough to get on time for someone who had never done a large canvas before!
