So far I have about 9 pieces for my breadth portfolio. I tried to include a variety of mediums: so far I have charcoal, watercolor, sharpie and colored chalk, an ink print, and several oils. I still need an acrylic and pencil piece. I am the world's worst procrastinator in everything that I do, so that definitely was a huge mistake that I didn't even need to read an article to realize that I made. However the one about continually restarting work was something that I have been doing and didn't even realize: I am usually somewhat of a perfectionist with my art and I have been worried that my pieces won't be of good enough quality; for example they won't be on the right paper, or that I don't have the right brushes or color paints, or that I will mess up etc. And these fears have been keeping me from starting and finishing a lot of pieces because I am afraid they won't be perfect. It took me forever to think about what I want in my portfolio because I didn't think anything I had was good enough! Looking at the gallery above, however, I am so glad I included what I did. Having 9 pieces right now makes me feel so much more at ease about eventually completing the breadth portfolio. It will make the future much easier going forward because I won't be absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do (hopefully), and I can be more organized.
