Trusting the Creative Process
with Chris Newcomb
Creativity enhances every aspect of our lives. If we wish to grow as an artist, or as a human being, we need to break free from the routine and ruts we’ve fallen into. The creative process requires us to challenge assumptions, to take risks, to step into the unknown. And though that can be frightening, if we trust the process, we’ll discover we are not the sole creators of our art or our lives. We are co-creators. From that vantage point we’ll experience the real joy of being an artist. We’ll explore this process using watercolor monoprints, a technique as old as cave paintings. From there anything goes. Whether you consider yourself to be an experienced or a beginning artist this class offers something for you. Please come join the fun! Fun fact: When we trust the process, we don’t need to trust ourselves, or some other person, or some idea, or deity. We just trust the process and it yields the results.
