Painters block and getting started, sometimes nothing inspires me, at other times I want to start another painting before the first one is finished, want to paint everything and land up painting nothing.

I feel this too. Start small and trust yourself. :slightly_smiling_face:

For me it’s finishing. I’m getting better at resisting further tweaks and fiddles that might push it the wrong way. These days if my gut say it’s finished, I walk away and stop playing with it. It’s difficult though!
