Overcome Creative Fatigue with These 5 Easy and Achievable Projects

What You Will Learn?

• More often than not, it is harder to go back to your regular art routine than it was when you were just starting. Life happens, priorities change and sometimes laziness and procrastination creeps in that it’s even harder to go back to the groove of creating an artwork..
• After a long break, feeling sick or demotivated, how do you go back to your regular painting or drawing routine? Well, if you're asking the same question while watching this class, you're already part way there..
• This SkillShare class introduces five easy, fun and achievable art projects designed to spark that motivation and inspire you to start or continue your own project and overcome creative fatigue..
• Who is this class for?.
• Since this is all about going back into making art, a bit of experience in your own craft is needed. This is specifically designed for those who have created few artworks when suddenly, they loose their drive to paint or draw and everything seems to be on their way..
• What’s needed for this class?.
• I will be using my main medium – watercolors, along with pencil, markers and gouache but you are free to use whatever materials are readily available to you. No need to purchase new materials, just get started..
• I would recommend using scratch papers instead of opening a new sketchbook or preparing a new canvas – I will explain in the class why..
• What will we do in this class?.
• This is not a how to or step-by-step video about painting and drawing. This class is all about reigniting that motivation to create your own artwork..
• Each art project takes less than 5 minutes to draw or paint and we will address different issues we face when we are stuck with our artwork or creative routine..
• All the projects demonstrated in this class focus on one subject – florals. But feel free to paint or draw a subject you are most comfortable with – still life, landscape, portraits or a mix of everything..
• What’s the key takeaway of this class?.
• The goal of this class is to get you moving and creating again. Hopefully, after finishing this short and sweet course, you’ll have the motivation and inspiration to start a new art project or continue a long forgotten one..
• I will also demonstrate warm up exercises that are achievable enough to help you overcome creative fatigue. Along with these exercises, some positive and negative reinforcements or tips will be shared, too. I will also share some personal experience and how these reinforcements (rewards and punishments) helped me become creatively productive again. .
• Bonus Video.
• As a bonus, I will share with you a simple trick I follow to successfully establish the habit of painting and drawing daily. This is the same strategy I used to develop my daily reading habit – simple, achievable and not too overwhelming. Make sure to stay until the end!.
