- Let ideas flow freely from one to another Discover new relationships that you may have never considered. Translate visual images into enamel images. Have fun and let go of the fear of making mistakes.
"Sketchbooks make for great history books of your own life"- Prashant Mirando in "Beggining"
What's holding you back from making the enamel art of your dreams?
You've taken classes and have basic skills.
You've got the tools and materials.
Every now and then you make something that you like.
But SOMETHING is missing and you just need a little help.
I once felt like this too.
Here is how I made a change...
- I changed my goals: from "make something that I like" to "explore what is possible"
- I changed my questions: from "How can I make it" to "What do I want to make and why do I care?"
- I studied my own creative process: If I cannot see something, I cannot change it
- I created small tutorials to help myself learn what I needed to make the changes that I wanted
- I made a COMMITTMENT to make a change
Our Roadmap to making a change...
A guided class to help you "Find Your Way"!
"I used to struggle to make artwork that was unique, meaningful, and personal."
When I began to let go of "what I think that I should make" and surrendered to combining my skills with new ideas and images, I discovered a new way to create with enamel. I planned less and released my need for technical perfection.
My questions changed as I played and experimented. I let images and ideas combine to create dialogues with new visual and enamel vocabulary. And most importantly, the new language began to reflect how I connected with the images and dialogue. I began to make enamel artwork that came from my heart!
- You probably have "enough" technique! What can you do with it?
- The "Find Your Way" class helps you blaze your own trail as you discover and explore YOUR creative process using both mixed-media and enamel.
- As a member of a committed group and with Ricky's coaching, you work through different exercises to build a new visual and enamel language.
