Challenging yourself to try new things

Recently I have been trying to breakout of my artistic comfort zone. Reading books, going to museums and studying other artists. I picked up a book titled "Taking Flight- Inspiration & Techniques to give your Creative spirit wings " by an artist named Kelly Rae Roberts. What a delightful book. She has such a kindred style of art to my own. Wonderful exercises and journaling throughout. I've always wanted to expand my skills and knowledge of mixed media and her style fit what I was looking for. I studied her techniques and the tutorials and the piece you see her was the end result. A self portrait with a lot of meaning ( my inner child, my grandmother and more). So I stepped out of my artistic comfort zone and tried something new and I think grew my creative spirit wings a bit. Thank you Kelly for an inspiring book. If you want to learn more about Kelly and her art go here : http://kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com/
