1. Many weaknesses, a few strengths.

1. The fact that I think I suck, which gives me the artist's equivalent of writer's block so it's really hard for me to get started on a new project.

2. Lack of patience - I tend to give up if it's not going the way I want, which happens a lot, or else I rush and make a mess.

3. Fear of trying a new medium. I'll get different paints, pastels, etc., but if I can't figure out how to use them right away I give up.

4. Lack of imagination. I'd like to try different styles but I don't know how.

3. I'm good at colors and value contrasts.
