Motivated by the works of great artists, some sooner or later try their hand at brushes and paints. But after the first few attempts, most become frustrated and quickly question their abilities.
How do I increase my motivation to draw and paint?
But even our great role models have not always had it easy in their artistic careers. They have also experienced frustration, disappointment and demotivation. They don't succeed at everything straight away. But they would never stop painting. Perseverance pays off! This realization can increase motivation many times over!
