Welcome to Episode Three and Challenge Three of the Goddess Project
This week I focus on PERMISSION TO PLAY. Let yourself let go and learn to play - making mistakes, getting wonky, and allowing your practice to go through the “ugly phase” is apart of the creative process. Let it happen - PLAY and TRUST THE PROCESS to get you there.
CHALLENGE THREE
I'd like you to learn how to PLAY within your creative practice. Making mistakes is part of your growth and the more and more we step up to our easels and practice in our sketchbooks, the more we can open up and embrace our creative confidence. There is no easy way to gain ground here. Practice and play are the key tools to growing as an artist.
