 A few weeks ago I started taking a weekly art class. It’s been great for me to connect to my creativity in a structured way. I have  41   so much about my creative process and I’ve only been in the class for 3 weeks! I can’t  42   to see what else I can learn over the next couple of months.

This week in class the focus was portraits. The  43   had us put a big blob(滴) of red paint in the middle of our paper, which was used to  44   the shape of the model’s head. She told us to use black and white paint to  45   where light and shadow were hitting the model. We had 15 minutes to  46    the painting. The idea of this exercise was to work  47   and not get bogged down（困住）by thinking about each brushstroke（一笔）.

We did three of these 15—minute   48   over the course of the class. Each time, mid-way through, I was convinced I was doing a   49   job and I should start over. However,   50    tearing my paper up, I breathed through the discomfort and   51    each painting. And guess what?! A face   52    on the paper. I started each painting with a big blob of paint in the middle of the  53    and over the course of 15 minutes somehow I created a(n)   54   . In a way, it was magical.

It got me thinking. When I’m in the middle of a practice process, I sometimes feel   55   . Everything feels muddy and uncertain. It’s a very   56    time, often filled with self-doubt. In fact it’s   57   that in the middle of a creation we are uncomfortable-----you could    58   say that it’s natural or unavoidable. You will  59    it. Believe that you won’t stay there forever.   60    uncomfortable, that “in-between place” is simply a part of the creative process. If you keep on, you will succeed finally.
