1. Welcome: Hi, and let me show you something. This was my artwork before I started to practice creative visualization techniques. Not so pleasing, right? As an artist, I understand how frustrating it is to deal with self doubt, fear of failure, and judgments in my artistic ways. I had my struggles and from my personal experience, I have finally discovered that key to creativity is effective creative visualization technique and mindfulness. Hi, I'm Pal Pagate and I am a meditation teacher and an artist hailing from India. Allow me to introduce you to a transformative journey that combines the power of creative visualization and art. Today, I'm thrilled to share these invaluable techniques with you that I personally use to manifest my art. Whether you are a new artist or a struggling ones, this course is tailor made for you. Creative visualization techniques can help you imagine your artwork before it takes a form. We will start with setting up intention to create our artwork. Then I will demonstrate how I use creative visualization techniques by practically visualizing and creating my art. At the end of the class, you will be able to visualize and create your artwork with a clear mind. So join me in my creative journey and pave the way for a confident, liberated artist in yourself. Welcome again. 2. Setting Up Intention : Let us set up the intention for our visualization process first. In this process, what I'm going to do is to decide what I'm going to create in what direction I'm going to visualize. For me, I have decided to create two pieces of artworks today. Number one, a beautiful nightscape and number two, a boho art. Now that intentions are clear, I am going to visualize the artworks and create a sketch in my mind which is going to be poured on the canvas. In the next two lessons, we are going to start the process of creative visualizations. And I'm going to show you I use creative visiting process to create these two artworks. See you in the next section. 3. Celestial Tranquility - A Stargazer's Journey: Welcome to a tranquil journey into the realm of serene beauty and infinite possibilities. Find a comfortable position allowing your body to relax and your mind to let go of worries of the day. Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly, releasing any tension. As you close your eyes, envision yourself standing on the threshold of a vast, open landscape. The air is crisp and cool, carrying the scent of earth and distant blooms above you. The night sky stretches out like a canvas splashed with the brilliance of 1 million stars. The darkness is alive with twinkling points of lights. Each one is a beacon of dreams and aspirations. Feel the soft ground beneath your feet, a b***d of grasses, wildflowers, and soft earth. It is as if you are standing at the cusp of reality and imagination. Let the sensation of the Earth ground you, anchoring you in the present moment. As you continue to gaze upward, the stars seem to dance in a symphony of light. They twinkle and shimmer, creating a breathtaking spectacle that fills you with wonder. The night sky becomes a vast tapestry woven with threads of stardust and possibility. Stars shine even more brilliantly, casting a gentle glow over the landscape. The moon, a luminous pearl, hangs low in the sky, casting a silvery hue over everything it touches. Allow its soft light to wash over you, soothing your senses and calming your mind, you. With each step, you become more attuned to the rhyme of the night, the whisper of the breeze through the grass, the distant calls of nocturnal creatures, and the serenity of the solitude. This is a space for you to reflect, to dream, and to simply be yourself in the heart of this astral sanctuary. A tall tree stands sentinel. Its ancient barks reaches skyward, bridging the gap between Earth and the cosmos. Imagine the rough texture of the bark under your fingertips, the subtle vibration that connects you to its timeless wisdom. The tree is a si***t witness to the passage of time. Its towering presence, a testament to resilience and growth. As you linger in this dreamscape, take a moment to set your intentions. What dreams do you carry within you? What aspirations light up your heart? Imagine these desires are stars in the sky, each one glowing with potential feel, their energy resonating with your own, a harmonious symphony of creation. When you are ready to return, take a deep breath in absorbing the beauty of this cosmic sanctuary. As you excel, bring your awareness back to the present moment. Carry the tranquillity and inspiration of this meditation with you, Allowing it to guide you as you navigate the vast landscape of your own life as an artist. 4. Enchanting Boho: Welcome to this guided creative visualization meditation for painting our beautiful boho art. Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can fully immerse yourself in this experience. Take a few deep breaths. Inhaling positively and exhaling any tension. As you close your eyes, imagine yourself in a serene and sun lit room surrounded by soft, natural tones that instantly brings a sense of tranquillity in your mind. A gentle warmth of natural light cascades through the large window, creating a serene atmosphere. Picture a canvas before you. It's a blank surface. A canvas of possibility. A canvas bathed in soft, soothing colors. Pestel blues, muted pinks and gentle greens that evoke a calm and peaceful feeling deep within you. These colors b***d harmoniously like a soft melody playing in the background. In the center of your canvas, envision a delicate branch of leaves gracefully extending across the canvas. Each leaf is uniquely shaped, a testament of the beauty of imperfection. They represent growth, connection to nature, and the ever changing cycle of life. Imagine yourself holding a paint brush deep in the softest shades from your pet. As you bring the brush to the canvas, you feel a profound connection with your creative energy. With each stroke, the colors b***d effortlessly, like whispers of wind rustling through the leaves. As you paint, imagine the peaceful energy of the tranquil colors infusing your surroundings. Your intention is to create an art piece that not only captures the eye but also soothes the soul. The hues you use are infused with a sense of calmness and serenity. Inviting those who gaze upon your art to experience the moment of peace. Feel the rhyme of your breath as you continue to paint each stroke, becoming a meditative movement. With each layer of paint, your intention deepens and the branch of leaves comes to life with a vibrant yet understated beauty. As you step back to admire your work, visualize a sense of accomplishment washing over you. Your boho themed art piece embodies the sense of tranquillity and nature's grace. It's a visual embodiment of your creative spirit and your desire to bring calm to the world through your art. As you gently open your eyes and return to the present moment, carry the soothing energy of this creative visualization with you. Whenever you need a moment of calm, remember the gentle strokes, the tranquil colors, and the symbolic leaf branche that you painted in this meditation? Your boho art is a reflection of your inner peace and creative expression. 5. Project & Materials: Hello and welcome back. I encourage you to submit your project. Take a non judgemental approach.
