Creativity, Experience makes painting beautiful

Creativity, the energy of life, flows through all of us, but we learn to label it something special, unusual, requiring rarified glorified skills, harnessed to precise rules and regulations. We begin to believe that creativity is for those with talent; its goal, to produce something perfects enough to be called “art.” We basically define the term talent by an ordinary person’s inability to have it. Everyone has a longing to create. That desire is itself the essence of creativity.

The painting of process can be your vehicle for exploration. Through painting, you can give yourself more experience with this forgotten passion. When you put yourself in front of a piece of blank paper, you can express your willingness to explore. Can you imagine painting something risky - a strong color, a body, an image you dislike? The risk might shake you up, but its part of an exhilarating ride. Soon, the ride becomes more important than the end. The adventure is so exciting that you want to keep exploring, taking risks, again and again.

Process painting is a easy and simple for direct way to experience your unique creative voice. The satisfaction you can find in connecting with that voice will keep you returning to the process again and again, to continue your own creative journey.
