LauraMixedMedia | Intuitive Journaling in my Junky Journal @LauraMixedMedia | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
I have been feeling a call to become a little more intuitive with my art. I think a lot of what I do is inherently intuitive as I don't *usually* have a plan, but many times I go in with an idea or a pre-conceived notion of what I want to do. So for me, intuitive art is not going in with an idea but rather just doing and seeing what happens.
It can be hard to give up the reins, so to speak. For example, I started this page with some collage that I totally didn't intend to mostly cover. But that's where it took me, and I am happy with the result. What would have happened if I resisted covering things up? Or had given up on the page after I made the scribbles? I wouldn't have been as happy, that's for sure.
I'm hoping that I will be able to continue this practice of following my intuition. As a creator that shares my work, it's hard to not focus on making "pretty" art, but that pressure definitely stifles my creativity.
I hope you feel inspired by this and will maybe start your own intuitive practice!
