Sketchbook: Watercolor Illustrations

I think all artists once in a while experience fear of a blank canvas. Every time I started working on a commissioned project, I was afraid that I will ruin my nice smooth watercolor paper and I couldn’t start working-just kept staring on a paper. I started trying different things to overcome this fear and the best method that works for me is doing quick messy painting in my old sketchbook where I don’t have to worry about expensive paper and how the painting will turn out. You can find the video on my Instagram @dcinstyle. If you are an artist/ writer/blogger, how do you deal with this feeling when you don’t know where to start?
