Overcoming Artistic Fear: How to Conquer Creative Anxiety as an Artist

June 11, 2025 | 0 comments

Hey everyone,

In this video, we’re diving into a topic that many artists face – artistic fear. I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with fear in art and how it can impact creativity. We’ll also be mixing some colors, talking neutrals, and just having fun along the way!

As artists, we all deal with fear. Whether it’s fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, or the fear that our work won’t be accepted, it’s something we can’t avoid. But the big question is – how do we deal with it? How do we embrace fear rather than let it control us? I’ll be discussing my own boundaries with fear and why I believe embracing it is the key to overcoming it.

In this video, you’ll learn:

– How to acknowledge and control fear instead of fighting it.

– The importance of embracing fear as part of your creative journey.

– How fear can keep you small, but action and courage can break through it.

– Why it’s okay to feel fear even when success is on the horizon, and how to navigate that.

I also share a little bit about how mixing transparent colors can lead to beautiful results, like gorgeous neutrals, without creating muddy colors. If you’re into painting, this part might just be the fun little boost you need! If you’re struggling with fear in your art, I hope this video gives you the confidence to move forward. Fear doesn’t have to hold you back from creating the art you’re meant to make. Let’s make some beautiful art, embrace our fears, and take courageous action together!
