pike place market

Pike Place Market is a wonderful place to sketch. Using all your senses and creative powers. I recently attended a terrific seminar (Bruce Morser of Vashon Island presenting) and the value of drawing and the creative process; they go 'hand in hand'.  Enhancing Creativity? Here are some thoughts:

1. sort your head, 2. no pre-conceived notions, 3. look away, no pre-conceived notions, 4. try less hard, 5. exaggerate, 6. make comparisons, 7. combine ideas, 8. bounce it off others, 9. take another swing, 10. be passionate.  So simple, Yes?
