Cynthia Sheppard's video: Dealing with Fear Oil Painting Chat

Today I’m doing a timelapsed 3-ish hour oil painting study of an expressive man in armor, while informally chatting about the reference photo shoot and about dealing with insecurity as an artist.

And outside of the echo chamber that is your own head, it can almost sound ridiculous.” Website: www.sheppard-arts.com Instagram: @sheppardarts Music by me Love + Thanks again to all my viewers and subscribers!
