Do you have daily habits or rituals in your art practice?
I like to try out new skills and techniques, and then decide if they fit into my art making practice.
Some things I have tried lately:
- stylized bird doodles
- painting watercolor blobs
- geometric patterns
- rusting paper
- found word poems
- fill in the blank
I think my habits change and new habits lead to new work. I am enjoying the soft cover coptic stitch sketchbook.
I make a new one every few weeks. I noticed that how I fill the pages has changed. The one constant is the plant silhouette.
I encourage you to:
- try out new habits/techniques
- look back at your work
- notice your constant (signature) mark making style
- Celebrate your discoveries
If you would like to explore some new techniques and book forms, then join us in the online Mixed Media Retreat. Read all the details on the workshop page. Class to be scheduled.
