Emma,

"Artists' block" is similar to writer's block.

My solution is to look around my world, even if it's just something inside my house. Then I see something that may not seem like much but if it catches my eye, I'll just start drawing or painting. It's like a writer's rough draft.

The thing is to be fearless. Think about it as if you can't make a mistake. Don't think of it as anything much at the start. Don't edit as you go, as if you see the end in sight. Just get something started. For me, this usually makes me not be able to stop until the work is finished, whether it takes a few hours or days or months.

Most often this "something" will turn out as a very fine work.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Robert Tracy
