FEAR. PANIC! PARALYSIS!!!!
That nasty little "Negative Nancy' is whispering 'you're gonna mess this up' and she's taking up residence rent free in your brain.
Well there is a new CDC CURE [Colorful Design Cure] that will get you out of your rut by seeing the world in a different way. It's like a shot in the arm that we are all hoping for [besides our Covid shots].
Some of the exercises that I use on myself and now in my Workshops involve studying colors and choosing a whole new palette to design a painting that is more true to your own heart.
First we do a 'Local' color painting... what does it really look like? Then do an about face... sort of like a photographic negative, just to jolt the brain- and go with complimentary palettes.
Then we are off to the races! Getting creative and using colors that sing and finally colors that really GLOW!
When we finally move away from those local colors and impose our own sensibilities it feels like flying. We are no longer tethered to the scene in front of us or worse yet the photo!
We all want to express ourselves in our art. That fulfillment is so very gratifying. Let's throw off the anchors and shackles and spend some time playing to reveal our inner channels.
If you'd like to spend some time putting the paralysis back in the bottle and free your personal pastel power, join me for a 3 day Online Workshop this April, 23, 24 and 25th. We will be playing and learning to cure ourselves of artistic paralysis!
If you're interested, just email or PM me to get on the list and secure your spot! I'd love to have you!
Stay safe and healthy!
Laura
