Sometimes when I struggle to find that spark for a project, all I need to do is open my eyes to my surroundings. This morning, I saw a decaying leaf on the ground. I reached down and instantly say depth, character and a spark of creativity surged in me. I'm taking that leaf, going to break down what I saw and how I started to think about translating life into art in this live. Ask questions, join me and a few friends (@Tiffany.Solorio &@KerenTamir) today as we explore techniques and great ideas you can immediately implement in your projects.
