Getting Started

Exploring different techniques for activating my creativity and art-making. Professor McLaughlin had us read an excerpt from "The Artist's Way", By Julia Cameron, in it, the author outlines methods to invigorate the practice of making art. One such method of The morning papers essentially is a 3-page journal entry that acts as a "brain drain" to release all the mundane thoughts that may be blocking your creativity. I will be giving it a try and reporting back. Above on canvas paper is the result of my post "brain drain", I look forward to exploring more and just making/creating. I want to work on my brushwork and grasp of color theory. How does one express what is in their head or heart on canvas?
