Stop Self Criticism & Gain Confidence

Self Criticism is making you doubt your abilities as an artist, but you can become fearless!
Grab Your Free e-book, "Become a Confident Artist" so you can confidently show up and share your work!

Welcome friend!

Hi, I'm Darlene and I love gardening, peonies, painting, sewing and good cup of tea with a friend. This is my space to share my love for helping other women artists show up confidently and share their creative offerings. Sprinkled throughout, you will find my love for floral inspired watercolor & pattern design. Read More…

I painted the image for this card the 1st year I started blogging. That was 2017 😳 It remains the most popular Christmas card that I have on my free printables page on my blog. And this year, @countrylivingmag asked to use it to showcase as one of their free Christmas printables!! My point in all of this is that it has taken me an incredibly long time to get any visibility. I have branched out in a few different directions, all connected to art and helping creatives. I have yet to make any profit. I'm not saying this to sound dramatic I'm just being honest. And you never know the story behind the pretty pictures. I believe in what I offer and that people have a need for it so I will keep going. Can you relate? Do you offer something you know is needed but are still struggling? Drop an emoji to let me know you made it this far 😉 Oh and check out the free printables there's a link in my bio and lots of free Christmas goodies. #coachforcreatives

Just do it! Normally I wouldn't share something like this as it's not finished and it's not not exactly what I would like it to be. But I've taken on the pattern challenge #patternmood21 and I really want to challenge myself to just share the process. I still want to make it look pretty so I've added it to one of my own photos. Lol I am painting everyday because it helps me stay consistent and more certain of what I want to put in my Christmas pattern collection. So this is my advice to you - share even of it's not exactly what you were hoping for. Share because it represents a piece of you for the world to appreciate! #WATERCOLORARTIST

Here's a question for you... How do you keep your passion for your art practice strong when you need to focus on other work? I have definitely formed some good, consistent habits over this last month. I have loved painting every day and I am truly excited about my work 95% of the time.

This is the most exciting news! I love to see the transformations that I get to witness as creatives implement the strategies from "Become a Confident Artist" This FB member's inner critic transformation took place in less than 10 minutes! It was very exciting to witness! She went from "I am too old and not cool enough for my creative practice" to
•Recognizing her creative value
•Challenging the validity of her inner critic and seeing that it was lying to her
•Realizing she loves what she creates She is now ready to create her signature affirmation! This affirmation is the tool to dismantle the inner critic quickly. This means you will get to creating and sharing your work sooner with more confidence and consistency You can do the same and I can walk you through how!

🤚STOP DOING THIS! The inner critic involves a

🤚STOP DOING THIS! The inner critic involves a judgment of the creative process and a possible halting of all creativity. Check in with how you are talking to others about your creative process. What are the words and tone you are using? The following are ways to recognize how the inner critic is manifesting itself in your creative practice. Judgment – What words do you use when you describe your creative work? Reluctance – Are you hesitant to discuss your creative practice/work? Procrastination – Do you have difficulty starting or finishing your creative work? Feedback – How do you respond to compliments and criticism? Did you recognize any of these, what do your words sound like? Do they include any like the ones on the list below? All of these ways you react are signals as to why you have difficulty being a confident artist. Tell me which one of the above four (judgment, reluctance, procrastination, feedback) you struggle with the most. Then grab your Free workbook to start targeting that pesky inner critic. 💥⬆️Link in Bio⬆️💥 #mindsetmattersmost

I had forgotten... ...that painting was a life preserver, thrown out to me. That inner nudging. “Pick me, I’m here for you!” Always there - the constant musings of the images I could create, the collections I could put together. But I ignored that life preserver. Pushed away – “for another time when I have time” For some reason, today, I chose the life preserver. I grabbed and hung on. I floated, drifted off to elsewhere. Time became a stranger. How long have I been out here? Chores ceased to exist. 2 hours of bliss. Laughing at my mistakes. Trying again. Having fun. Nothing required, no pressure, no end goal. Thank you, life preserver. Until you beckon again. #innercritic #impostersyndrome #selfdoubt #creativeentrepreneur #fearfulcreative #FEAROFFAILURE #CREATIVEANXIETY #selfdefeatingbeliefs #selfdefeatingthoughts #anxiousartist #femalecreative #artistoninstagram #artisttools #creativebusiness #calledtobecreative #doitfortheprocess #anxiouscreative #mentalhealth #paintinganxiety #critical #creativeblocks #anxietyawareness #feelthefearanddoitanyway #perfectionist #selfconsciousartist #respectyouremotions #creativeparalysis
