Doing without a plan ebook

Create without a plan

Starting to create is often the hardest part. In this e-book, you'll find simple exercises in layers, color, and texture, so you can start without pressure or a grand plan. You don't need special materials, and nothing has to be "finished."

Perhaps you've wanted to draw or paint again for a while, but you're not sure where to start. Or you do start, but you stop again because it doesn't turn out how you envisioned it.

This e-book helps you to get creating.
Not with a rigid step-by-step plan or perfect outcome, but with calm, achievable exercises that get you moving.

We work with:

• layers

• color

• texture

• play and experiment

You'll discover how to start without knowing exactly where you'll end up. It's okay for something to fail. It's okay for something to remain half-finished. Nothing has to be completed.

About me

I'm Merel. I paint layer by layer and work a lot with intuition, color, and movement. I know how daunting starting can feel and how paralyzing the idea that something has to be 'good' right away can be.

I created this e-book as an invitation to start anyway. To realize that you don't need a plan first. That the first brushstroke is enough.
