“Live like a grown up, Play like a child”
Let go ofĀ everything you THINK you SHOULD be doing.
Let go of what you THINK looks GOOD.
Let go of what you think is RIGHT.
And… JUST. LET.GO!
“Live like a grown up, Play like a child” easilyĀ sums up my philosophy in life and definitely in art so…
I don’t think there is much more to explain!
Just watch the video tutorial below and you will see how I represented this quote into a visual colour feast in my art journal š
I hope you will follow me along?
Don’t worry if you don’t have the same brands or colours of paint I have, just use whatever you like to get similar results!
Go on, surrender and play like a child with me then post a photo of your creation in the private Facebook group here!
Love to you my Creative Friend,
Mimi.

Hi Mimi,
I chance upon your blog online. I really like how encouraging you are especially for beginners. You made art very enjoyable and most importantly to express ourselves freely. No formulas no rules…
The colours are so cheerful and watching your video in the morning perks me up…i like your french accent..haha.
I will be reading your blog everyday and thanks for your encouragement…i am starting to put out my paints and sketch book that i have hesitated to start for years!!
