In today’s episode I’ll talk about the connection between words, thoughts and art, and how we can use that connection to improve our art.

My BEST Painting Ever

A while ago I painted my best painting ever.

What made the difference was the fact that I was narrating the whole process to someone, as I was working on the painting.

I had no idea what impact it’s going to have. Talking and explaining the process, as I was going through it, actually made me think harder.

It made me consider different approaches for achieving the result I was interested in.

It made me re-think the very result I was interested in!

And most importantly – it slowed me down. It allowed me to take my time, and only hurry when necessary.

Thinking, Speaking and Writing

I recently watched a video discussing the connection between writing and thinking. The person in the video said that the best way to improve your thinking capabilities was actually to write.

I have to agree, based on my own experience. I write a lot and I definitely noticed a difference in my analytical skills, my critical thinking skills and the quality and depth of my thoughts in general.

I already talked about my writing habit, and how beneficial it was so far to my creativity and self-development.

It’s All Connected

Improving your writing will improve your thoughts. This, in turn, will also improve your painting skills.

The next time you want to paint something, imagine you have to explain to someone everything you are doing.

That someone is you! (;

See if that makes a difference. I’m definitely going to try and do that more.

Artist Corner

In this episode I talked about Thomas Schaller.

Aside from producing BEAUTIFUL paintings, Thomas has such a calm and nice teaching style. He started as an architect, and this quality really shows in his artwork. I highly recommend you check it out.

To learn more about him, check out this video: Thomas Schaller Interview

I found that I could really relate to many of the things he’s describing in this video.

How to Become Super-Creative Using Frequency | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 19

Hi there! Liron here. In this episode I want to talk to you about how to become much MUCH more creative using frequency.

Creativity and Frequency

I slowly learn more and more how creativity and frequency of creation are intertwined.

And I’m not talking about the obvious “more frequent practice = getting better faster”. I’m talking about how practicing more frequently improves you in the SHORT TERM as well.

I noticed my brain is a magician. The more ideas I ask of it, the more ideas I get. The more frequently I publish videos, the more ideas my brain produces.

This is quite different from the mindset I had in the past. I was afraid to post things too frequently, so that I don’t “run out of ideas”.

That’s just the opposite of what really works!

How this can help you

Whatever you are doing on a regular basis – I would suggest playing around with its frequency.

Do you sketch once every few days? Try sketching EVERY day. See where it takes you.

This really is all about experimentation.

I find this to be true about ideas as well. The more I sit down to think about video, podcast or painting ideas – the more new ideas I get.

Exponentially!

The more you give – the more you receive

I really think of this as a law of nature.

The more courage you have to share more and more, and work on your skills more and more – the more you are rewarded.

The more you give courageously, the more the world gives back to you (:

Artist Corner

In this episode we talked about Gregory Packard.

He is an amazing American impressionist artist. What immediately caught my attention with his works is how COLORFUL they are!

If you’ve been following me for a while you know how I’m attracted to colorful and realistic artworks.

You can see more of his work in his website.

 

Conclusion

And this is it for today’s episode. I hope you enjoyed it!
