Art lessons for life
studio notes from painting class
“I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.”
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass
Hi Friends,
As I might have mentioned, I am currently devoting time and effort to learning some painting skills. It’s hard! and fun! And, I’m someone who believes how we live and make our lives is actually our greatest art…so here are 11 things I am learning as I seek to change and evolve as an artist & a human being:
Just keep going.
Be playful.
Take breaks and come back, the work always looks more interesting after a break and often the next step will become clear.
Do a little bit each day even if it’s just 5 min.
Work with the loud and the quiet.
If you keep showing up you will learn how to observe yourself.
Notice what’s working (yay!)
Notice what’s not working and make a different choice.
You have what you need inside of you.
Return often to the joy of what you love.
It’s never too late to try something new, take a risk, or learn something you had previously thought was too hard.
love,
Anna Marie
