I am pleased to announce the publication of my newest creativity workbook:

ART NOW NOT LATER:  Shape Shifting

Fun exercises meant to boost creativity. Turn shapes into imaginary or realistic objects, people, or creatures!

Leonardo DaVinci advised artists to “Look at walls” for artistic inspiration and to help defeat creativity blocks.

“Look at walls splashed with a number of stains, or stones of various mixed colors.
If you have to invent some scene, you can see there resemblances to a number of landscapes, adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, great plains, valleys and hills, in various ways. Also you can see various battles, and lively postures of strange figures, expressions on faces, costumes and an infinite number of things which you can reduce to good integrated form. This happens on such walls and varicolored stones, (which act) like the sound of bells, in whose pealing you may find every name and word you that you can imagine.”

Use the shapes on the pages to help unlock your creativity.

The shapes become a bit more complex as you progress.

Lines, dots, and suggestions of dimensions in the later shapes help open your mind to even more artistic possibilities.

These are fun exercises meant to boost creativity so keep it light and fun!
Try to allow your imagination to guide you and don’t be critical of the outcome.
For even more fun you can add color, collage, or stickers.
For best results, we recommend using dry media.

Suitable for artists of any level and age!
