Connecting With Your Creativity

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 10/07/2025 - 12:00am

Think about a form of art. It doesn’t even have to be “art”. It can just be some type of creative outlet, right? I mean beyond writing, singing, acting, drawing, sculpture, or any kind of color on a two-dimensional canvas. But let’s start with painting. There are obviously tons of options here: acrylic, watercolor, oil, or even paint markers, to name a few. Each one lends itself to different techniques or even different subjects.
