Thanks so much! Do you use constraints in your own art practice?

Last year, I said I would not buy any new art supplies and use what I had. I lasted 6 months. But this year, I will not buy any more art supplies, and I will finish all the classes I have purchased. We will see. Happy New Year!

This advice is all spot-on (and all things I still struggle with after over 15 years working as a creative).

The seasons idea is so important for me.

I love drawing on location, so I naturally fall into a winter slump. Reframing winter into "drawing from imagination season" makes the chilly chunk of the year way more bearable.

Love the seasonal approach! I’ve been deep in “hibernation” mode after having my second baby but I’m ready to use this framework to plan out the new year of making things. Thank you for always sharing some great insights and tips!
