Have you ever been to a place and struggle to recall anything special about it? Did you take lots of photos on holiday yet on return find they all merge into one: another seascape, another pretty cobbled street, another restaurant? And at home do days merge together with nothing marking them as special?
In this blog I’ll be sharing how I get under the skin of a place, how you can learn to notice like an artist. I’ll be introducing you to a simple but effective exercise that helps you STOP, NOTICE & RECORD what is around you and then looking back you’ll be better able to recall the day/time/location. It’s a method I use to peel back the layers of a place and what makes it special to me. It is also a brilliant starting point if you’re feeling stuck art wise or don’t feel you are particularly creative as it doesn’t need you to be ‘good’ at art.
