@andrea.nelson.art: Obviously being a self taught artist means that I never went to art school, but then how do you do it? I watch how a lot of other artists do it, I take a lot of online classes and do tutorials, and I just make a lot of art! I make things when I have no idea how it will turn out. I make things when I have no idea what I'm doing. I make things when I feel fairly certain it will be bad. I just make things. I follow my interests and curiosity, and I know that I have to be bad before I can be good. You never stop making bad art, you just start making more of the good stuff in between!
I have a degree in fine art and I still self-teach every day. You just have to get in there and do it.

It’s so weird that this popped up on my FYP this morning. Long time follower of you and Lacey and I had a dream last night that the three of us had an art day and drank Sauvignon blanc spritzes (made one for the first time last night) and it was kind of like the best day ever. Y’all have both been such an inspiration to me in my self-taught art journey! ♥️

See, your paintings tickle my brain. I love them! And I love learning from you! Likewise, in my BSN nursing program. A lot of theory, ethics, etc. I tried 1 - yep, 1 IV stick in clinicals. I thought I was doomed. But I got good, cuz you just have to keep learning- and practicing. 🥰

I totally agree! My daughter in law has a degree in early childhood development. Because her step mother said to do that. Then she went to welding school. My son is a welder too. They are planning their artistic welding journey as well. I love this!

For some of our neurodivergent brains the part where we have to be ok with being bad at it in the beginning is the hardest part!
