Do you ever sit down to paint and feel immense pressure to make this piece different? Make it mean something? Make it special somehow? I recently discovered a funny little mindset that steered my artistic growth – and hindered it in major ways. I realized that when I sat down to create, I felt like I needed to come up with everything right then and there. The concept. The colors. The composition. Every single thing had to be fresh right now if I wanted to make a nice painting. But the other...

One of the most common struggles I hear from people in this community is a lack of consistency. People have a tough time making time for their art and letting creativity be a regular part of their lives.

It’s interesting to see how art, expression, and creativity are the first to get tossed overboard when life gets hectic. And it always...

We've all been there. You get a buzz of creative energy, like lightning in your veins. You go get your art supplies and you sit down to begin drawing. And as you stare at the blank paper, you realize.... You don't have any ideas. Nothing. Nada. Your creative well has run dry. This used to happen to me all the time. I would get so frustrated with myself and often end up admitting defeat after a few minutes to go watch TV or scroll through social media, dejected. What do you do when you have no...

The prehistoric part of our brain hisses and recoils from question marks and change. That's why we're all born with an instinctual fear of the...

Do you feel like creativity might not be for you? Like art is for a special kind of person, and you don't have the "artist" gene? Are you afraid that you've missed the boat to become an artist, like you're too old (or not old enough, or not educated enough, or not interesting enough, etc, etc...)? If you said yes to any of these, Reader, then I only have one request of you. Give me a chance to change your mind. Watch The Video Cheers, Little Coffee Fox 👉 @little_coffee_fox |...
