We start making art together next week, Are you ready?
A doodle a day,
a few minutes of silence.
You'll be bad at it, at first.
and day by day you will get 1% better.
Your small daily efforts will begin to accumulate.
You'll start to feel more peaceful in your other daily activities.
You'll start to slow down, when you would normally panic.
You'll catch yourself drifting off into space a little more throughout your day to simply think.
You'll let your hands wander on the page, coming across new creative solutions.
Your creativity that oozes out from your doodles, will ooze into different parts of your life.
Creativity will teach you that there are always more than one right answer.
There are infinite possibilities if you dare to dream them up!
So this weekend, i challenge you to prepare.
Get your supplies ready.
Clear space to create in your home or office.
Ideas for where you can set up your creative space:
If you drink coffee every morning at your kitchen table, leave your sketch book and pen at the table.
If you watch tv before bed, put your sketch book and pens on the side table by your remote.
If you eat your lunch at your desk at work, leave your sketchbook and pens in your top drawer of your work desk.
If you doom scroll on your phone in bed every night before you go to sleep, leave your sketchbook and pen on your night stand.
When you are trying to start a new habit, it's important you make it so stupid easy for yourself to be successful.
Leaving your sketchbook out in plain sight and stacking this new habit of doodling with a habit you already do, will make your success rate go up so much!
Starting a new habit is hard enough, so make it easy for yourself.
Weave in your doodle time with the habits you already have in place.
Be gentle with yourself. Its ok if you fall off one day, but remember WHY you're doing this.
You're doing this to create purpose and peace in your life.
I encourage you to take a moment right now to free write to yourself....
WHY do I want to be an artist??
Foreshadowing for Tuesday, what to expect:
Days 1-14
Will be very childlike and simple.
You will learn the foundations of fine art.
Days 15-30
we'll get deeper.
We will study the artists of art history & you will learn how to make your art "pretty"
Days 30-37
is when we get personal.
Looking back at our own lives.
Drawing our favorite memories.
Photos we've taken on our phones.
Turning those memories into art.
Days 38-45
You will pick your ONE THING
The thing that tugs at your heart the most to keep making.
You will learn to draw BIG and take your doodles to the next level.
Are you ready to become an artist?
Here's what you will need:
Post-it notes or small sketchbook
Micron pens Sizes 08, 05, 01
Colored pencils (red, blue, yellow, green, purple, orange, white, black)
Standard graphite pencil
Extra Recommendation:
"The Artist Way" Book & workbook.
Everyday along with your doodle, I encourage you to journal.
To write out your heart on the page.
Get all those stagnant dreams, desires and hopes out on the page!
We'll talk more about the morning pages as we go through the curriculum.
Take everything in as you can hold it.
Don't feel pressured to run fast, you will burn yourself out.
Think of this as a slow burn.
Something you can do for the rest of your life.
If you only want to start with doodles that's fine.
If one day you miss out, that's fine. Catch up when you can.
I suggest carving out at least 10-15 minutes a day to take this program seriously.
5 minutes to log into Skool, & go over the day's assignment.
5 minutes to doodle.
5 minutes to journal.
Some days you might feel called to linger a little longer.
Some days might fly by without checking in. -try to doodle on your own anyways at some point in the day.
You can come back to these lessons at any time within the next three months.
Post in the group with questions, get your art supplies ready, order "the Artist Way" book & let's step into the identity of an artist together!
We start together on Tuesday!
