It’s Never Too Late to Start Your Art Journey
Feb 10, 2025
Here's your blog post:
Have you ever wanted to explore your creative side but told yourself, “I’ll start later” or “I’m just not good at art”? If so, you’re not alone! Over the years, I’ve met so many people who dream of picking up a paintbrush but hesitate for one reason or another. The truth is—art is for everyone, at any time, and at any age.
In my experience, there are a few common reasons why people hold back from pursuing their creative outlets. Let’s break them down and see why none of them should stop you!
1. “I’m Not Good at Art” – Says Who?
One of the biggest reasons people shy away from creativity is because they’ve been told (or have told themselves) that they’re not good at it. Maybe it was a teacher’s comment in school, a comparison to someone else’s work, or just the fear of making something “wrong.” But here’s the secret—art isn’t about being “good.”
Art is about expression, joy, and discovery. It’s about the process, not just the final piece. You don’t need to paint like a master to experience the benefits of creating. If you enjoy making art, you are an artist—simple as that!
2. “I Don’t Have Time” – Creativity Doesn’t Need Hours
Life is busy, and it can feel impossible to set aside time for yourself. But art doesn’t have to be a full-day event. A few minutes of doodling, painting, or even just playing with colors can be a refreshing break from the daily routine.
Think of it like self-care—just like reading a book, going for a walk, or having a coffee break. Even 10-15 minutes of creative play can reduce stress and bring a sense of joy to your day.
3. “I’ll Do It Later” – But When?
So many people say they’ll start their art journey later—when life slows down, when the kids grow up, when they retire, when they “finally have time.” But the reality is, there’s never a perfect time. Life will always be busy in some way, and waiting for the right moment means it may never happen.
The best time to start is now, even in small steps. Keep a sketchbook nearby, take a fun online workshop, or join a creative community (like ArtFun! 😉). Just start somewhere, and you’ll be surprised how much joy it brings.
4. “I’m Afraid of Failing” – But Art Isn’t About Perfection
So many people fear that if their art doesn’t turn out “right,” they’ve failed. But failure doesn’t exist in creativity—every brushstroke, every sketch, every attempt is part of learning and growing. Even professional artists make mistakes (and often, those mistakes lead to something even better!).
Instead of thinking about failing, think about playing. Experiment, have fun, and don’t worry about the outcome. Art is an outlet for emotions, relaxation, and self-expression, not a test you need to pass.
