Finding Your Creative Flow: Seeing Shapes and Letting Go
How do you create flow in your painting—and why does it sometimes feel stuck or overworked? In this episode, we explore how to create flow in watercolor by simplifying shapes, grouping values, and learning to see your subject differently. Instead of trying to paint every detail, you’ll discover how connecting shapes and recognizing patterns can bring more movement, clarity, and ease into your work. We talk about:• How to create flow in your painting• Why paintings become overworked• Seeing shapes instead of details• Connecting the dots within your composition• Letting go of control and trusting the process We also touch on the Women in Watercolor community and their current competition, along with how to approach a prospectus in a simple, manageable way—so it feels less overwhelming and more like an opportunity to grow. I also share my guided journal, Find Your Creative Flow—a quiet, supportive space designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your creativity without pressure or perfection. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overworking your paintings, or looking for a more natural way to paint, this episode is an invitation to step back, simplify, and let your painting breathe.
