Do you ever get stuck when your art hits an ugly or messy phase of the creative process? Is it difficult for you to push past these (perceived) set backs to end up with a successful painting/collage at the end of the day? You're watching the right video!

In this session, I had set out to make a "quick" collage and quickly realized I had more of a challenge ahead of me than I expected. Ha! Nevertheless, I kept going through the creative hurdles even though part of me wanted to give up and start over. I kept going for 2 main reasons: (1) to get practice turning the project around and (2) to prove a point: the more we practice pushing through the messy parts of our art making, the more experience we have turning things around into a successful painting/collage. And the more experience we have turning things around, the less scary it becomes when we find ourselves in a rough spot. Once we get used to these rough spots being a normal part of our creative process, they become a problem to solve which is often a fun, satisfying part of the process.

Materials used: Canson mixed media sketchbook, collage paper, acrylic paint, crayons, scissors, and a color shaper.
