TROPICAL HIBISCUS & Creative Ruts

TROPICAL HIBISCUS
Watercolor Batik - 16x16

It can be easy to get in a creative rut. The same technique, subject, view point, materials, over and over. Fear of failure can keep us from experimenting and exploring new artistic material. If you want to grow, you need to take some risks. Large or small, challenge yourself to try something new and get out of your comfort zone. You might surprise yourself.

* Try new art materials: Pens, Paint, Paper.

* Different point of view: Paint a view from above or below.

* Change subject matter: People, Landscape, Still Lifes, Architecture

* Lighting: Night scenes, Dramatic Light, Reflected Light with color.

* Take a Workshop
