How I OVERCOME Self-doubt| Ink & Wash Art Nouveau Architecture| Urban Sketching

Art Nouveau architecture is a new territory for me, and attempting to draw the Old England building in Brussels has been particularly challenging, sparking a lot of self-doubt. It’s been so overwhelming that I struggled to complete a drawing I’m happy with. To push through this, I turned to the wisdom of a great artist, the renowned Australian artist, Mr. Robert Wade, for guidance.
