When you intentionally narrow your choices, you create consistency in your work. This doesn’t mean boxing yourself in forever—it’s about focusing on a few key elements that align with your vision. Limiting factors like your color palette, materials, style, or theme can help your art feel more cohesive.
When you focus your creative energy on fewer ideas, you give yourself the freedom to explore them more fully. Instead of spreading yourself thin, you can dive deeper into the concepts that inspire you, uncovering new layers of meaning and expression.
By focusing your art on specific emotions or life experiences, you can craft a narrative (story) that reflects your journey and who you are as a person. This deeper focus not only enriches your work but also strengthens your connection to it.
