On today’s episode of Make and Design, Carina is joined by artist and designer Jeanie Dickinson, who is also a member of Carina’s Design Suite. Jeanie takes us on a deep dive into her creative process and what she did to develop her very own style, including the moment when she realized that she had her own style. She shares with us how important it was for her to find a mentor and how that impacted and accelerated the development of her style.
Jeanie and Carina describe Jeanie’s style and Jeanie gives two great tips on how you can develop your own style. This one is worth checking out on the YouTube channel as well because Jeanie shows off some of her adorable, whimsical art. Find out how journaling has helped Jeanie practice more and refine her art style. Jeanie and carina also talk about how having a BIG WHY can keep you motivated as an artist.
