I still can't paint. I've been devouring videos, and spending hours upstairs in my makeshift studio, but it's just not coming.

Recently I advised someone on WetCanvas to become a master of starting paintings, even if he didn't finish them, because the beginning is so important. I decided to take my own advice, so I'm spending a good deal of time drawing with paint, though that's all I seem to be able to do so far.

I'm hoping that these oil drawings will help me transition into painting, but so far, I can't get past the first stages.

I developed this one more than I probably would have if it were going to be a finished painting. That's because I knew I wasn't going to finish it. Pardon the bad green tone on the canvas. That's not bad photography. That's the remnants of failed paintings that have been washed off this canvas.

Any and all advice on how to get to the next level would be appreciated!
