181. The Art of Creative Kindness

The Laura Horn Art Podcast

Show Notes

Today, Richie and I chat about how small acts of kindness can transform your creative practice. The idea for this conversation came about when I finally decided to clean and refresh my watercolour palettes. Taking the time to do this got me thinking about other ways I could be kind to my creativity and how that kindness might have a ripple effect on my entire art practice.

If you’ve been hard on yourself lately, this episode might be just what you need!
