Description

Are you looking to become a more consistent artist? In this class, you will learn strategies and techniques for building a consistent art practice.We are going to define what we mean by consistency, we will set you specific, achevable and measurable goals, that can help you track your progress and make you stay motivated. I will show you the strategy of mindful skill-building and how to overcome creative blocks.We will talk about the role of practice and repetition, the importance of feedback, and most importantly, how to be persistent and resilient when you are facing setbacks.My students LOVE this class! Read their words below:"This class is such a clear, concise explanation of how to build a personalised art schedule I will actually follow, something that I particularly struggle with. I highly recommend it to any one who also needs a bit of a push in that direction." Rebekah"This course was excellent especially if you are floundering and don't know what to do with your art. This course helps you to put your ideas down on paper and execute them. Thank you for a lovely and well-organised lesson." Nicola TapsonThis was incredibly helpful for me. The Art Mother has explained and given plenty of beautifully illustrated examples of how I can achieve my goals and demonstrated so well how to make time to achieve what I would like to achieve. She is a brilliant art teacher. I highly recommend taking her classes. They are taught very well and beautifully designed and illustrated. Karen ClarkThis class will be more about personal development rather then creating art itself, but I will share with you extremely useful resources and practices that you can reach to any time when you don’t know what the next step is, what to draw, which art topic to dive deep into, or a blank page is threatening you with its presence.Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, this class will provide you with the tools and guidance you need to take your art to the next level.By the end of this class you will have a clear direction to head to with your art, you will have resources to reach out to when needed and you will have the skill to buld a strategy for consistency tailored exactly for you and your life.So, are you ready?
