Description

In this episode of Art Life Plan, we’re talking about what happens when you try to plan your creativity a little too much. Every artist I know works differently. Some dive in with no plan at all and others can’t start until every detail is mapped out. Most of us live somewhere in between. I’ve been thinking a lot about how planning can help but also how it can get in the way. When does structure give you clarity and when does it start to drain the life out of your work? We’ll look at how to stay open to surprise, how to notice when your plan is holding you back, and what it feels like to let your process lead again.
