Gathering inspiration is an important step in any artist’s creative process. Depending on what exactly inspires you, it can be hard to keep track of it all. Over the years I have developed a few different methods that allow me to keep all of my creative inspiration resources organized for my next project.

"This course was just what I needed! I was struggling to figure out what to paint next and this course gave me a step-by-step plan of action. I felt like I was aimlessly painting, waiting for inspiration to strike. But the truth is, planning feeds inspiration! It has allowed me to stop thinking about painting and actually get to painting more!"

"I'm continuing to benefit from the collections course and will definitely be referring back to it again in the near future. It provided information about collections I honestly didn't know or hadn't thought about. It also provided a way to bring some structure and clarity to what feels like something that doesn't have either of those things lol! It made me feel like the process of making a collection was achievable and exciting"
The video runtime of this course is approximately 30 minutes but the bonus downloadable PDF will require extra time to read and complete and exercises. The amount of time you invest in these is up to you.

While the structure of this course is based on and shows examples of my drawings and paintings, the principles can be applied to different types of art. For example, you could use the information in this course to plan a pottery collection or a series of wood carvings.
The methods and information in this course are most helpful for artists at the beginning stage of their career, especially if you haven't created a collection yet. If you invest in this course now, it can help steer your focus for when you are ready to create your first collection.
Artists that will benefit the most from this course have never created a collection before or are struggling with how to create one. If you have a strong sense of your style and have already created a collection, this will likely not be as helpful for you.
While this course does not specifically dive into that aspect of developing as an artist, it does offer some best-practice tips to help guide you. This course focuses primarily on the aspects that make a collection successful which could in theory also be applied to how you eventually develop aspects of your creative voice.
