Go-To Tips

Welcome to our new page for artists who are learning and/or facing challenges with any aspect of your work.
We have called this GTT – Go-Tos for getting ‘unstuck’.  Being stuck is simply a thought or feeling that you take on when for example you keep repeating errors, and can’t seem to shift or change what is causing them. In truth you are not stuck, you are unconscious and unaware of what your mind can do to stop you from dissolving the problem.  You can break these errors once you understand how they keep happening.  It is a vital part of your progress, so this page will have regular updates, some weekly and others under the heading of Your Key Monthly Tip.  The Monthly tips are a deeper dive into what is underlying a particular challenge and you can make notes to keep or contact me for a pdf document with a summary you can print out or keep on your computer.  All for free!  More information on short one off classes online will be posted in our News page as they become available, the first of which is planned for Spring 2025.
Now go and have a good painting (or drawing) day!
