"Will I Always Paint Like A First Grader?" Questions From the Studio

We hear this question, or a version of it, in almost every workshop we facilitate. As humans we have the need and desire to create... Also as humans, we want to “get it right” and be good at whatever we decide to do. But what would happen if you didn’t have to get it right or paint like a pro the first time you tried something new creatively? What if playing and getting curious like a first grader was enough? 

In today’s episode, hosts Jenny Hahn and Stephanie Gray talk about how it feels to play  with curiosity without attachment to results, and why painting like a first grader is something that even professional artists often try to get back to.
