SEEING MORE CLEARLY
Hi, I'm Sally-Anne.
For the past five years, I've taught artists and creatives how to trust what they're drawn to and channel it into their work and creative practice. Here's what I know - as creatives, we're not short of ideas! If anything, we probably have too many - and they can pull you in all directions until it's hard to know which one to follow. What we need isn't more inspiration, it's a process for turning those ideas into the work that we actually want to make.
SEEING MORE CLEARLY is a FREE 5-day online guided course for artists and creatives who want more awareness, clarity and the confidence to take the next meaningful action in their practice.
Sometimes it's hard to know what the next step in your practice actually is, but I'm going to share with you a short process which will take you from noticing your inspirations, all the way through to translating them into action - even a small action counts!
Over five days, you'll move through this simple process - noticing, mapping, asking why, connecting, and taking action - designed to help you see your own creative instincts more clearly, and take aligned action with your work.
We start on Monday 24th August.
You don't need anything fancy. Just simple materials to prepare, five short days, a process you can reuse anytime - whatever stage you're at - and a journal to keep in your studio and return to whenever you need a little more clarity.
How I can help you
"Two artists can use the same subject, the same colours, even the same materials, and still make work that's completely different.
What separates them lives beneath the surface, in things most people never learn to notice about themselves."
In this course, you'll learn how to:
-
Notice what you're naturally drawn to, and start working from what's really pulling you in.
-
Understand why it feels important to you, so your choices come from insight, not habit (or what you think is 'right' or 'good'.
-
Uncover the clues beneath the surface, the ones that make your work distinctly yours, and learn how to move these forward.
-
Turn noticing into a repeatable process, so this isn't a one-time insight, but something you can return to anytime you feel stuck, or want a deeper dive.
What you will need...
15–20 minutes a day. A short video from me, a small exercise, one page of your journal.
One large sheet of paper - A1 (approx: 59 x 84cm / 23 x 33 inches)
OR
8x sheets of A4 (approx: 21 x 29cm / roughly 8 x 11 inches)
Paper weight between 130 - 170 GSM - sturdy enough to hold whatever media you might use, but flexible enough to fold.
These sizes are just a guide - as long as they're not too small, you'll have plenty of room to write and create freely
No experience necessary. This works whether you're a complete beginner or years into your practice.

You're really good at just gently nudging people along.
You're not pushy, and you're not dictatorial, and you're not like,
do it my way. It's just this really nice, flowy process.
