Doing without a plan

E-book on how to start creating, without pressure or a big plan

Maybe you've wanted to create something again for a while now. You have materials at home and ideas in your head, but it's just not happening. Or you start... and then stop again because it's not turning out the way you imagined.
This e-book helps you to start anyway. Calmly. Layer by layer.

Do you recognize this?

  • you want to create, but you don't start
  • you think a lot, but do little
  • you start… and stop again because it "doesn't seem good enough"
  • a blank page feels bigger than it should
  • you long for peace while creating, not for performance

This e-book helps you to get started anyway. Calmly. Without performance pressure.

What you'll find in this e-book

In Doing without a plan you'll find:

  • simple exercises in color, layers, and structure
  • explanation about starting without a fixed end result
  • examples from my own creative process
  • space to experiment without anything needing to be "finished"
  • tips for when you get stuck or doubt yourself

You don't need any special materials.
You can start with what you already have at home.

Who this e-book is for

This e-book is for you if you:

  • want to work creatively again but don't know where to start
  • get stuck on a blank canvas or perfectionism
  • are curious about abstract and mixed media
  • are looking for more relaxation instead of pressure to perform

It is less suitable if you are looking for:

  • a technical painting course
  • step-by-step lessons towards one fixed end result

This e-book is not about "how it should be done."
It's about daring to start.

About me

I'm Merel. I paint layer over layer and work a lot from feeling and intuition.
I used to think that I needed to have a plan before I could start.

Now I know that something opens up precisely when you do start, even if you don't know everything yet.

This e-book is an invitation to experience that for yourself.
