Description

This week I’m talking about something that surprised me in my own practice: how returning to Procreate, a tool I haven’t touched properly in years, helped me break out of my old habits and finally start moving away from the horizon line. I share the unexpected guilt that came with using digital tools again, how the undo button can actually teach us more about our instincts than we think, and why digital play can open doors that feel stuck in traditional media.

I also talk about the two digital pieces I created this week, how different they felt, and what they revealed about freedom, looseness and expression. If you’re feeling stuck or wrestling with a “default move” in your work, this episode is an invitation to revisit the tools you’ve abandoned and allow yourself the permission to explore again, in whatever medium helps you breathe.

And if you’re drawn to expressive, intuitive painting, come join me inside Abstract Horizons, my creative community for artists who want to paint with more freedom and emotion. You can take a look here:👉 https://www.skool.com/beyond-the-horizon-1551
