I generally don't do anything within 20 minutes, let alone paint an entire picture. Practicing for Art battle has helped me to keep painting everyday, work my style in different ways and to let go a bit. It has also been a challenge to prepare for painting in front of a crowd. For us introverts this is scary to say the least. The first 10 minutes my hands were shaking so bad I thought it would be impossible to paint anything. I somehow found a way to tune it all out and focus on what I love to do and by the end of 20 min I had created something worthwhile. It was such an amazing rush in the end and I am so glad I did it. It helped too that we were raising money for the local Hospital Foundation.
