What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this?

Have you ever heard of the "ugly phase" during an art session? This is what it's referred to.

The phase were the artist is about 20-30% done and the artist suddenly reaches a point were can't move past, as the vision of the artwork is gone. How to get past this? Work on another artwork or leave it until the next day.

To complete an art piece is more complicated than most people think...

Here is my ugly phase btw.

What cone do you glaze to? Do you use commercial glazes or only homemade / studio glazes?

if responses are more than 5 lines do you just move on unless you really like the person?

Cake for my 4yo according to his request. As usual it's not as pretty as I hoped, but fuck it, this took two days. I made marzipan and ganache, there's almond flour and almost no artificial bs. Dinosaurs and rest of the leaves are going up in the cream tomorrow when this cake survives a two hour trip.

It has dinosaurs, it has monsters, I might add few more spiders, there's not enough spiders.🧐

Dancing around my bedroom

Final result from this morning’s art lesson with the neighbor. Really like how it turned out. Having some instruction on how to use these watercolor markers made such a difference. Also more practice as it takes me a few times to get back into the Just Let It Flow mode of watercolor anything.

Using hot press paper worked well - I’d only really played with cold press before.

She’s letting me hang onto the markers until Thursday because her grandkids are coming over and she won’t have time to use them. She also gave me some art books she didn’t want anymore so I have lots to play with over the next few days. 🎉
