Sarah is a watercolor artist, photographer and nature enthusiast based in Seine et Marne, France. She paints beautiful landscapes and she teaches online on Skillshare.I have been following her work for a while and it was such an honour to invite her and talk to her about her process. In this episode, we chatted about her love for nature and how it inspires her to paint, why is it important for her to create and how it all began. Sarah creates every day. At least one painting a day. I find it fascinating. I hope you'll enjoy learning about her journey too!Here's what we talk about in this episode:a little background and intro about Sarah and her workhow she lost touch with her creative side while growing up and why that happenedwhen money is involved it impacts the way you show up for your creativityhow moving to the countryside played a role in her connection back to her creativityshe paints landscapes in watercolors and how it all beganher struggles in the beginninghow everything doesn't turn out how you want it to be in the beginninglearning to accept the beginner stagebecoming okay with experimentingthe medium of watercolors invite experimentationhow she developed her own unique style with time and what the journey of finding her own artistic voice looked likecommitting to practicingdoing a 100 day project for paintingcurrent project: 30 day project of painting forest inspired by the colors of autumnwhy is it important for her to create and celebrate nature through her workhaving the time and space to slow down and be mindfulstepping outside of your comfort zoneadvice for creatives who are struggling to find their own artistic voicehow she likes to spend her dayshaving a morning ritual and starting your day with doing something for yourself that brings you joymaking a habit of painting a painting every single dayteaching online skillshare classesspeaking and teaching in English when it is not your first languagelearning different languagesfocusing more on the process instead of the outcomelearning that there are no right or wrong ways of doing things especially in creating arthaving a dream and making living from your artfinding the motivation to keep goingto or not to monetize your artFind links to the resources we discuss in the full show notes.Sarah's website and InstagramSarah's Etsy shop and Skillshare coursesHira's website and InstagramSign up for 'A letter from me to you'
