Curious about how this was done? You can find out the special techniques I used next month if you’ve signed up for email updates; I’ll explain more about it in November!
ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #85
This is my favorite exercise from one of my favorite books about the creative process — notice all the marked pages! It’s full of wonderful writing exercises that are easy to turn into painting prompts. These are “word tickets,” which are great for generating ideas for poems, stories, titles, paintings, and more! It’s especially fun to use them to do a collaborative painting project. You can even use them when you’re “stuck” about what to do next in a painting. Hunting in old magazines for promising words to add to your collection is part of the fun! My word tickets live in a special box, which you can see a corner of the photo. You can learn more, including how the author used them at an Art Opening in Chapter 4, “the answer squash.”
