Hi Misty, happy to hear you found the Mindful Art Community, so glad you liked the TED Talk 🙂 Love the idea of challenging yourself to explore certain colors within a painting!

The TED talk was awesome. About a week ago, I got into a weird vibe and decided to paint a portrait of myself on a cheap 30×40 (ish) canvas using only buff titanium, alizarin, cad red, ultramarine, and yellow ochre. I did it in less than 3 hours, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Since then I’ve decided to make it a habit to limit myself to four colors and a white to do some paintings, and see what happens.

HI Bethany!

Welcome to minddfulartstudio.com! I’m psyched to have you here and am so glad that you took in this fabulous TED talk. His limitations suggestions could be a great exercise for any artist, but also for an art therapy group of many different populations. I can imagine using some of the ideas with adolescents to great advantage. (Imagine using chewed food though? Ugh. No! haha.)

Thanks so much for reading and commenting, I look forward to “seeing” you here again!

Creatively Yours,
Amy

Hi Laura:

So great that you dropped by! I know, he’s so amazing, isn’t he? I feel like a lot of us might have “let it shake” and been satisfied with the amazing portraits he was doing with scribbles, but he let it take him so much further. I just love how he turned a weakness into his greatest gift. It makes me wonder, how many of us are missing opportunities to turn things on their head this way?

And you? Which of his creative challenges might you experiment with?

Cheers,

Amy
