Love all these ideas! I have a few additional favs: From life drawing class - make 1, 2,5,& 10 minute sketches, but as life drawing models aren't always available, I draw my supplies, or sketch little still lifes, changing my viewing angle with each sketch. From a very young artist who I once babysat - take a stack of copy paper and an ordinary writing pencil and draw as many things as fast as you can, drawing whatever you see or imagine. Then pick out your favourites and draw those again, this time spending as much time as you like. I also, to avoid that procrastination thing, often sketch or doodle ideas mid-yoga, or while sipping my tea. No pressure to produce the "great work" if I'm just taking a minute out to sketch an idea, or try a different viewpoint of a subject. These "mindless" sketches often seem to channel an inner muse, and have led to some of my favourite pieces. Whatever way we find that works, we all need to permit ourselves that childlike abandon to play. Off to find a stack of copy paper and the stub of a pencil! And I hope the light and love of each of your muses shines upon you, dances in your peripheral vision, and whispers gentle encouragement in your ear. Thank you again, Wendy, for sharing from your saucer. There is art in your words, as well as in your hands and heart.❤️

You inspire me so much. I’ve never taken an art class, but I’ve had a love affair with creating my entire life. My creativity gets buried in the stress of life. However I always return. I’m turning 53 this year and I’m making space for my creativity and growing as a creator, it’s my time. You are a light that I’m so grateful for! I just adore you and I love what you create. Your brilliant and magical 💕

I found this very useful, especially the part about warm ups. A large wall or similar isn’t practical in my small home; however, I had a lightbulb moment. My daughter left behind some window markers and I have patio doors. They are the perfect space for a warm up and can be wiped clean afterwards, so I don’t use up precious paper and get clean windows at the same time. Another idea would be wallpaper lining paper taped to said patio doors. I’m off to dust off those markers.

Very helpful Wendy - loads of top tips. Thank you 🙏. I found that often, after fully preparing my space, I struggle with a deep reluctance to start. Then I discovered the Mel Robbins countdown which interrupts the overthinking brain - “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO” - and helps me get going right at that crucial moment. I’m fine once I get started 😛. Have a great week 💕

This was very helpful! I sometimes get stuck in that awkward place between "fear of failure" and "fear of success." And then I have to force myself to remember that fear is just (false) (evidence) (appearing) (real). It might be an introvert thing, but I am working on being my powerful self. Thanks for helping, Wendy!

So much wonderfully valuable tips on unwinding and settling in, as I’ve gotten older my senses seem to be turned up, I need softer clothing, coziness, candles, and feel the need to create the ambience before I can create..which I’ve been away from for far too long.

This came at just the right time..my art has been getting very tight. I'm a portrait artist first and foremost and my style is very neat and precise. When I'm in between portrait commissions I like to paint something much more loose and free and I've been having a blast painting a pair of hands in a much looser style. Thanks for the reminder that it's good to stay loose in our art!

After a rest and refilling my cup with positive energies I am starting to feel inspired after watching your video. 💕🎨🖌I have a small shed in my garden under a really old Hornbeam tree 🌳. I have moved my art journaling things to my shed but felt that I have hit a brick wall. I haven't created in my shed yet 😟.

Oh wow Wendy... I totally related to and appreciated this video so much! Thank you, thank you! 95% of what you shared about your processes for loosening up are things that I've done for myself for years, however for the past couple of months I have failed to do any of these! ☹ Unlike you I don't make lists or define what it is that I do to get my mojo running. Hearing you define all of these things that are so important to keep the flow was exactly what I needed today! And thank you for some new-to-me loosening up exercises! Watching this video, and having you spell out and remind me of how important warm-up exercises are, was exactly the tonic my soul needed today!💫 I can't tell you how much this has giving me the impetus to snap out of it and go into my art space and do one, two, maybe three of these different warm-ups that you have suggested! A huge thank you for sharing all of this with all of us! 🥰 You are much appreciated and loved Wonderful Wendy! 💚Sending a huge Mahalo and plenty of Aloha across the many miles!🥰💞💫🌈🌺🙋‍♀️

About a month ago i was googling "how to loosen up in your art" and desperately have been searching something that applied to me, with really no luck (unfortunately google did not bring up your video). I Came across you yesterday on Patreon and i love what i see, so i joined. I was watching a Patreon video and KZbin recommended this video, and i feel like finding you was the answer to my prayers! This is exactly what i needed, but not only this video, so far the other videos ive watched of yours...well, lets just say i don't believe you crossing my path was an accident. I havent felt very inspired in a very long time, and most of what i am struggling with is paralyzing fear, thats just plain and simple the root of my struggles when it comes to art right now, and it wasnt always like this for me! I discovered mixed media and art journaling about 12 years ago, and fell in love! And back then, i was so filled with joy, so free, so inspired, so excited, so unafraid etc when it came to my art. I did not struggle with all of this FEAR that is basically paralyzing me right now! And its so many of the things ive heard you address so far...I am so thankful i found you! Thank you for doing what you do

You really hit the nail on the head for me when you said “I try not to get caught up in the scroll scroll comparison on Instagram“. I find myself doing that way too much. And I do it on KZbin as well. There are many inspirational artists on Instagram and KZbin, but I have found myself doing that comparison thing too often which is not good for my art process. Thank you for that reminder. I need to draw inspiration from other places that are more inspired by nature and what’s inside me. As always, thank you so much for sharing. You always brighten my day.

The way I did this and keep loose is like you said , I don’t compare as I’m a unique individual let “ art “ flow through me. I draw with my eyes close, draw with my left foot, left hand anything in keeping it unique and totally me. Pinterest and KZbin my go to for inspiration.

Wendy, I've been without my painting tools, except for watercolor for about6 weeks because of moving from one place to another. You've inspired me to keep on keeping on with the pencils and sketchbook sans acrylic. I used some posca pens but have not used them much to create. One thing I tried was to use my watercolors directly from the tubes to paint with. that really helped. thank you for your many ideas for inspiration and motivation. love your style and energy.

One of my absolute favorite videos of yours. I have a tendency to be really tight with my work and it can be frustrating when you're developing skills, learning a new medium, and/or don't have the technical ability. I've asked people in the past how to loosen up, but they couldn't really explain it. You actually gave practical techniques to try out and I look forward to incorporating some of these into my own warm-ups. Thank you for this because I think loosening up your art is one of those things that's just not easy (for most people) to explain. 🥰 I will definitely be revisiting this video from time to time.

Drawing with a stick and other items is quite interesting. I’ve drawn with ink using small scraps of rusty metal. The ink I brush on the metal and then draw in little scratches on finger paint paper. That paper holds the ink on the surface for a minute, allowing me to draw lines and textures. Both by scratching, stamping and dragging the metal across the paper. The roughness of the rust gives surprisingly interesting patterns.

Very good points. I like to feel comfortable, relaxed and try to get into the mood. I like to do warm ups myself. Really helps to get into the art feel. Thank you for sharing this.

Awesome video with so many ideas. Ive just made a small tray with a lid and put together a small sketch pad and a few pens. Its living under my bed and at night i have 20 mins of just writing things down or doing some sketching. jotting down worries or writing out a quote that inspires me. So if ive had a busy day at work i still get to make some art and clear my mind. Thanks

Such a timely chat, Wendy! Just started 2 weeks holidays and already I am putting pressure on myself to get in my studio and create. I get hung up on the thinking that "Quick! GET IN THERE! You don't want to waste a minute!" So already I am procrastinating thinking anything I do HAS to be brilliant so that awful fear of not making "great" art gets in the way of play. I have so many ideas for artworks but actually starting something..anything, seems such a hurdle. I love your simple tip of just jumping in, dipping in and doing a little something before tackling the big things 🙏 Going to grab a coffee and go there now, splash some ink around and see where it leads 😁 Blessings, Wendy, great video 👍
