Top tip: want to paint something but don't know where to start? Paint a bookmark! ππποΈπ¨
Blank page anxiety is real, so if you're left stumped and overthinking when presented with a blank page, and whilst wanting to paint you're not sure where to begin, just take the pressure off and warm up your creative flow by painting a bookmark instead! Once presented with this smaller surface area, if the big empty page was making you put pressure on yourself to create a masterpiece, you'll find yourself feel instantly more relaxed. Your playful side -which you need to experiment and push boundaries in your art- will emerge and you'll find you enjoy your painting session so much more! And having fun with it is what it's all about after all!
We often paint bookmarks in my watercolour workshops as a way to warm up, loosen up and get into a relaxed, creative mindset, as well as a way to practise new techniques and subjects.
