The 3 Biggest Abstract Landscape Struggles (And How to Overcome Them)

Episode Summary:
In this episode of Totally Abstracted I’m discussing some of the biggest struggles abstract landscape artists face—and let’s be honest, these are struggles I’ve faced more times than I can count! If you’ve ever wondered, Is this working? Should I add more? Have I added too much?—you’re not alone.

We’ll explore:
🎨 Knowing when to stop—How to step back before overworking a painting.
🌀 Feeling lost in the process—Why getting stuck isn’t failure, and how to break through.
⚡ The fear of ruining a painting—How to take risks and push past hesitation.

And… I’ve got something really exciting coming next weekend that will help you overcome these struggles in a whole new way! Stay tuned for more details.

💡 This Week’s Creative Challenge: Take breaks on purpose while painting! Set a timer, step back and see your work with fresh eyes. Try flipping it upside down or taking a quick photo to gain new perspective.
