Hello Judith Reidy,
How can you find out there are no rules for what you paint in art apart from learning a few basics like what paints and brushes are best and why so then you can paint with freedom and confidence. Do YOU BELIEVE that?
Did you know there is this tension between play and process when creating art?Processes sometimes get us going and give us a general path.But often happy surprises occur and we miss them if we are too focused on process/ procedure. Being able to value, assess and utilize happy accidents is a big part of our training as artists
In some sense If we just keep to a few basics in mixing colors and understand the dynamics created with value, we leave ourselves open to learning and developing more technical know how in the face of what we might prematurely called mistakes.
Part of your ability to see happy accidents as opportunities, depends on how open you are to variations on your plan.
Do you like playing with variations on your plan? How far can you stray from your plan and feel comfortable with that on your painting journey?
Happy Painting in the Zone,
Judith Reidy
P.S. Please HIT REPLY and share with me if you are dealing with a variation on your plan. What is it and where do you feel it is taking you?
In all my teaching including my recent workshops, I think we have all learned a lot in the process and are having a good deal of fun. Our little community gets value from one another as well as from what I am able to share with them. Fade away self critic.
