Help - artistic block


I have been to two art classes now, I missed one as I had flu. I seem to be having a case of artistic block, no matter what I start to paint or draw seems to go wrong. I have had my books out, read magazines, even surfed the web, and there is at this moment nothing that makes me want to draw, and right now that is so frustrating. I have tried to paint two pictures and they didn't look right and now I am going to try and do some drawing, though not sure what at this moment.

I seem to go in phases of drawing and painting then get stuck for how to put what I want on to paper. I will just have to be patient with myself and keep trying, it will happen I know it will.

When I get this way I stop thinking about art. I relax and listen to favorite music, watch T.V or movies, or play video games.
I say take a day or two break from your art and relax with other things that inspires you.

heylĂ  Karen...i'm just like you these period...so today i start with a free hand sketch and then another fast sketch just to say, it's ok i'm not ceative but, at least, my hands still works!!
Then i totally agree with Kammy, try to take it easy and maybe do just something that has nothing to do with art as a good cheescake!! i love it! i'm not making fun of you, maybe you just need an holiday from your art!!
wish you the best

Those days come and when they do just do anything inspiring even listening to music.
