For those uninformed: I am in Painting II this semester, and for the master copy project, i chose Erfüllung [fulfillment] (its my 2nd half of my title) by Gustav Klimt
http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~aniko/favorites/Fulfillment.jpg
And ive been working on it since Feburary. This painting, so to speak. is WAY above my skill level, but i can't pick an easy painting because im in the advance painting class. So in sense, im stuck with this one (not a bad thing, but its still very hard) Though recently, i've been being tossed through a vicious cycle with this painting (deja vu at its finest.)
When i paint, i get frustrated from overwhelming circumstances. (I shot my foot in sense).
When i get frustrated, i begin to clench my teeth, (a bad habit) Especially with the fact my gums/teeth are weak as shit as it is, they cause major headaches to me.
When i get a headache, my will to work drops. I get very angry, and just quit. This in turn effects all my other art/progress as well.
It also drives me senile, i grow restless. Which in turn makes me want to work on my painting again, and the cycle returns.
It is a given, that when ever i grow incrediblly angry, after time, i grow horrible down dumps. And thats about where i am now.
I know, its my fault, for picking such an amazing painting to try to copy, and thinking i could actually do something above my lowly painting skill level, but this is really mixing my brains apart. Figured itd be wise to spill it for once. Sorry.
