Dina Wakley - Why It's Okay to Make Bad Art
EPISODE 76
If like me, you are a perfectionist and sometimes feel like your art isn’t good enough, you are going to love this episode. I am chatting with mixed-media artist and teacher Dina Wakley.
In this conversation, Dina reminds us that art is supposed to be fun, and it is much more fun when we lower our expectations and stop caring so much about making bad art.
She shares the wisdom that she has gained from many years of making art and teaching students across the globe.
We also talk about her role as a signature designer for Ranger Ink and the reason why we all need to buy more supplies from our local art stores!
A few things you will hear Dina talk about:
Using references to help you grow as an artist.
Why it is okay to make bad art.
Reinforcing the good through repetition.
Designing art supplies with Ranger Ink.
The hidden cost of not supporting local art stores.
The importance of protecting your personal creative time.
“It’s supposed to be fun, and it’s so much more fun if you just lower your standards. Honestly, just don’t care about what’s coming out and eventually what comes out will be great.”
