Conquer Your Fear of the Blank Page: 4 Watercolor Exercises I Swear By

via Skillshare

Overview

You're probably familiar with know feeling of staring at a blank page. You want to create something. You want to so bad that you even feel pressure to, but your mind is like crickets. You just stare at the page and if you ever get around to painting/drawing/etc. it's just meh. So here's the thing...

This happens to every single one of us (myself included)! I broke the ice one day and since then, I've never had a problem when I've faced the blank page. And it is all due to a simple exercise/ritual/practice that I do each time I sit down to create something.

Welcome to a meaningful and intentional class that gives you creative permission to play with watercolor paint anytime the urge kicks in.

As somebody with a very busy mind (I'm sure many of you can relate, as creative people often do), I believe this class will deeply resonate and help ground you in continuing to develop your art practice. It's so easy to put pressure on ourselves and I want to help you quiet racing thoughts and release expectations.

This class is going to help you break through some of the walls you're met with each and every day, just by infusing a few exercises into your creative practice. These are exercises that I personally visit nearly every time I sit down to paint something and it's because it conquers the blank page. You don't have anything standing in your way and the blank paper is no longer intimidating. I know that at least one of these exercises will organically become a part of your process if you work along with me and feel the benefits of letting go.
