Re-Discovering my Artistic style

Beautiful artwork by my toddler

 I'm currently in the process of restarting my blog and possibly other social media outlets after more than a year of radio silence. I'm also trying to set up my new studio space in our new home. This is a crazy adventure especially since it's right before my due date for baby number 2.  I've been taking online classes and youtube tutorials in the hopes to discover my own true style. In the past, I felt like I'd only tried to paint things I thought would sell. This was successful up until a point. I did sell some original art pieces but I quickly faced burn out. Because, I quickly stopped being passionate about what I was creating, I felt that it didn't reflect how I really wanted my artwork to be perceived. 

When people liked my artwork I always thought, 

"Yeah this piece is good but I know I can do better."

What I really wanted to achieve in my art was hard because I think I lacked the skill. So now is the time to really delve into what my style could potentially be. 
I took several classes from skillshare (I've had a subscription with them for a couple of years now) one of which I really like was Chris Hong's class called, "Steps to creating vivid portraits with Coloured Pencils." As it took me out of my comfort zone of strictly using watercolours and onto coloured pencils. Another lesson I've been enjoying is Andy J. Pizza's "Find Your Style: Five Exercises to Unlock Your Creative Identity" among others. I found out about his course after following his podcast for some time. 

Although, I can't share all of my progress as some of it is quite abstract, like creating a schedule or having a creative mindset etc. I will try my best when and I can to post regularly amongst the caffeine and sleepless nights.
