To create a world of your own design…to put anything you want on the canvas is a great feeling. Honestly, sometimes that’s an overwhelming feeling. The easiest way to deal with “canvas block” is to start with something simple and change just a few elements. Move the horizon up or down just a bit. Add an extra tree in the painting. Maybe change the shade of color of the sky. These little things can help empower you to create bigger changes later.
Bill knew the feeling…the power…that comes with being an artist. He wanted his students to feel that power as well. He knew that once they realized there were no limits on their creativity they would become not just better artists, they would become better people!
