    have you thought of getting colouring books and using those for painting practice?

    one skill at a time, a colouring book can help you get brush skills

      I have colouring books (and pencils because I can’t paint in bed) but I don’t know.

      I feel like I’m just not doing well mentally or physically (unavoidable) and art has taken on some bad associations/pressure. It doesn’t lessen my desire to do it but it is messing with me.

      This is not my biggest concern really. It just sucks that I can’t even do my less physical hobbies 🙃

        so many hugs

        when i went to calligraphy class a big part of learning was to have a project

        so maybe write down some ideas for a project and start on that. Just do it. 🙂

        and do look after yourself 😘😘😘

          Thanks. The colouring book is a good idea.

          I could either buy paint markers to be able to use on bed days or just try to take the pressure off myself about improving/doing a hard hobby
