Sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone (or comfort size) and try a whole different format scale. I talk about small scale versus large scale and the benefits of changing it up to help your creative flow and to infuse inspiration.

Here's a quick technique on how you can add texture to your watercolor paper using gesso, giving it an interesting surface to work with. The gesso will also add thickness to your paper, perfect for projects that require a stiffness to your watercolor paper. This textured surface will also make your watercolors react differently and allow for interesting and unexpected patterns and modeling.

Using your intuition (how you feel) to make artistic decisions during the creative process can be a valuable and helpful skill.

Asemic writing is markings whether it be scribbles, scratches, brush strokes, symbols or stitching that resemble handwritten words and sentences, but have no recognizable content, words or meaning. They are simply visual elements often used in mixed media and abstract artwork. The nature of asemic writing often results in patterns, therefore can be a way of incorporating texture to artwork. The process of Asemic writing takes us back to the primitive and child like scribbles before we learned how to write, helping us tap into our innate artistic nature. Because of its rhythmic and repetitive process, it can also be a mindful and meditative practice. Join me as we explore a variety of techniques utilizing different writing tools as well as explore different writing methods to shift the feel and look of your asemic writing. You will then use your pieces as collage material to pull together to create an abstract piece. All art experience welcome. Adults 18+ Register Today! https://truecreativitywithin.com/product/asemic-writing-workshop/ Music by David Fesliyan at https://www.fesliyanstudios.com

Weaving has been used throughout cultures for centuries. Plain weaving (“over and under”) is the traditional form of weaving that most of us are familiar with and probably learned in grade school. But what transforms a basic weave into art all depends on the materials used. Join me in this four week class as we create pieces of art by weaving a variety of materials like altered collage papers, fabrics, stitching, found objects and more. Through a variety of mixed media techniques, we will create our own weaving materials from scratch so that we end up with a piece that is uniquely your own.

It's common to experience creative burnout, especially after a long period of creative output. Recognize the signs and give your creativity a vacation. This can re-energize and re-inspire your art making. Also I share some snippets of my vacation to Cambria, California.
