Painting Made Easy

So, if someone asked you whether you are an artist, what would you say?
If I asked you if you could paint, what would you say?
I'm going to show you how anyone can learn to paint and that you are an artist as long as you are alive!
You see, we worked this step by step process that anyone can do if we just focus on experiencing the step you're in and not worry about anything else.
In the Creatively Fit Coach Training we learned this month how creating art is a metaphor for creating your life.  In a nutshell, here's are the steps:

The first step is to let your true colors shine - in painting this translates into mixing colors and applying the colors you like in any arrangement you like, just make it feel good to you. In life this translates into: do what you choose without worrying about what others think.
Note: completely ignore your left brain's negative voice.

The second step is to structure and direction - in painting this translates in to drawing an outline of an object you would like to paint. In life this translates into: organize your efforts and choose the direction towards your choice of goal.
Note: listen to your gut and don't be afraid to make the wrong choice because you can always modify what you're working on or it may just show you an even better alternative. (it's possible that your inner artist is communicating with you, so pay attention.:)

The third step is bringing in your essence - in painting this translates into painting with the beautiful colors you select inside the outlines and the background leaving some of the first layer showing through. In life this translates into: be selective in the things you choose to spend time doing and the things you choose to put in effort into thinking about repetition, rhythm, contrast, harmony, unity, proportion, emphasis and balance. Let previous layers show through because all the layers of your past are important and always present in you and who you are becoming.
Note: Enjoy the process and keep in mind that it's not the finished product that is the most important thing but what you're learning about yourself, and that you're creating the change you want in your life by the actions you're taking.

The fourth step is to apply the finishing touches - in painting this translates into adding texture to all the sections and adding interesting eye-catching design elements. In life this translates into: focusing on one part of your life at a time and develop and expand each part to make it interesting and complete.
Note: Your authentic essence is shining through and bringing you joy and empowerment.

Do you see how easy and fun painting in this process is? Do you see how each step corresponds to your life and your expansion in it? I look forward to becoming a Creatively Fit Coach and teaching this technique and many others. I'd love to hear from you if you want to make changes in your life and or if you want to get rid of the myths about painting.

Thank you for reading my blog and hope it helps you become more creative and empowered in art and in the art that is your life. Contact me with further questions and clarifications, I would love to show you more.
