I joined a painting workshop in October, with the idea it would help me focus, maybe reach the flow and, who knows, get some fun out of it. 

I was thinking of learning how to paint since a long time. I thought it would help my depression. 

There are not many choices here and I found a workshop open to anyone, in Brussels. It is more a place where I can practice than a class. Still better than nothing, a few times per session, the teacher gives me notes.

It's been 3 months now and I am so bad and slow at painting ... that it makes the painting session a source of anxiety, sadness and over-thinking. 

I am not precise, I make mistakes, I can't find the right color and I have finished only one painting (which result I was happy with, though) and the second one I work on is taking ages, lots of re-work and fixes required. I am actually ashamed of the progress.

I am not fishing for encouragement. My honest question is : should I give up on painting since it makes me feel bad ?

I fell again at this point of depression where I lost the fun from almost everything (except chocolate and Cowboy Bebop).
