Donja Vaughn’s 3 Tips for Painting with Heart:
Let Nature Guide Your Palette:
“Don’t force colors—spend time outdoors and observe how the light plays on leaves, water, or skin. Nature always knows best.”
Layer Emotion, Not Just Paint:
“Your first strokes shouldn’t aim for perfection. Pour your mood into the canvas—let it evolve with every layer.”
Create Before You Critique:
“Silence the inner critic during your first hour. Just paint. The magic comes when you stop overthinking and start feeling.”
