Daily Art Quote

No pressure, no diamonds.   (Thomas Carlyle 
      
   Frustration is present in daily life, and lends itself to some situations more than others. Artists have eternally struggled with frustration, both in trying to express themselves fully, and in trying to manipulate a medium to their desires. Frustration consumes energy and self esteem, and creates a negative environment.
   Some common methods to resolving frustration include: taking frequent breaks when working, going for a walk, meditation, and trying to see a new perspective on the situation.
   How do you deal with frustration?
