I Allow Myself To Play

I think sometimes we forget that making art is supposed to be fun! We get so caught up in whether it looks right, whether the colours work, whether we’ve done it “properly”, that all the joy can disappear out of it. So today’s affirmation is a little reminder to loosen up and play.
Try the colour you wouldn’t normally choose. Put something where it probably shouldn’t go. Scribble, splodge, stamp, tear, layer — and see what happens! You don’t have to know where you’re going before you start. In fact, some of my favourite arty discoveries have happened when I’ve stopped trying to make something wonderful and simply allowed myself to play. No pressure. No rules. Just curiosity and a bit of fun.
