i absolutely adore this youtube channel — so comforting, so informative and honestly a game changer in helping me cultivate creative process and affirms any doubt/imposter syndrome i have towards describing myself as an artist and/or making art
attached is his latest video "if you can talk, you can draw" and is so poignant and so correct!!

Going off the rec about drawing, Alphonso Dunn is by far the best YouTube instructor for learning how to draw. He is patient in his thought process and explanations, and is super easy to understand.
Could not recommend his channel more for people trying to better their drawing skills.

this video did such a good job of reminding me that simply nurturing your interests is such a crucial part of the creative process. will be following more from this creator!

"I'm James Payne, a curator, gallerist, and a passionate art lover. I am on a mission to demystify the art world and discover the stories behind the world’s greatest paintings and sculptures".
This is one of my favorite YouTube channels. I know some people say that art is up to interpretation but I find myself more invested when there's an explanation to the context in which the piece was made, who did it, etc. I love it when people explain things, I love history and art 🤗

(specifically behavioural experiment — really putting my psych degree into good use huh?)
i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks
look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens
i don't even have to stick to it — this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all — i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible
the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant)
if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible...
we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!
