Creative Growth Through Constraint
This class teaches a deceptively simple method: start with a shape, see where it leads. Part of the Confident Watercolors series, it pairs this creative challenge with a practice routine designed to build your artistic momentum and confidence.
You'll learn the watercolor insights that transform the exercise—preferred supplies, maintaining momentum, and tactical ways to approach a shape. The real value isn't the watercolor technique; it's understanding how a regular creative practice fuels growth. Amarilys Henderson shares examples showing the remarkable results this method produces. Whether you're painting, drawing, or exploring any medium, starting with a shape forces you to improvise and discover, sparking creativity you might not find otherwise. This is the essence of putting the fun back into making art.
