Let’s start a daily painting practice together. The value of a commitment to a specific art-making practice is that the daily routine is both grounding and freeing, it’s an insistent act of documentation and with it, offers a way to make sense of it all. The on-going nature of this practice leaves the viewer rooting for the next day, while for the creator it emphasizes the creative process over product. My approach teaches a habit forming system for a daily (or almost daily) painting practice. We’ll talk about simplifying the painting process, obstacles to creating a daily practice (and how to overcome them), effective habit building, and ways to stay motivated through planning, reflection, and innovative painting techniques. I teach varying approaches that provide participants with a system to make a personalized daily creative habit and exercises that solidify a daily art making approach.
