Try this to let go of perfectionism & boost creativity
This week it’s about LETTING GO OF PERFECTION, and speaking of embracing imperfection, let’s quick hit some things I forgot to mention in this video:
YES, blind contour drawing is supposed to involve not lifting the pen off the paper, but I got into those fins and spots and forgot!
And, Welcome to BETTER WITH ART! I’m Melinda and I’m here to encourage you to reclaim your creativity and practice creative self-care with weekly small art prompts that can be done in art art journal or on paper if you don’t have one.
If you’d like an art journal that’s ideal for my simple form of art journaling that uses various mediums, the paper is important. It needs to be a heavy weight and preferably hot-press because although I love the texture of cold-press it’s really hard on markers and pens. Here’s a link to the mixed-media one I use in my videos and the art journaling groups at the library where I work is 140lb/300gsm. It stands up to all my dry, wet, and layered applications. Sold in a three-pack, it also remains the best regular-price value that I’ve found.
If you use any of my Amazon links and make a qualifying purchase, I will make a small commission as an Amazon associate. This does not affect your price, but gives me a few cents toward supporting my sharing my healthy art habit with others. So, thanks if you!
Let’s make some art! Because we’re BETTER WITH ART.
