How to Paint Bold Colorful Paintings in Oils, Acrylics, Watercolors and Pastels
The Creator's Desire Urges You to Paint Bold Colorful Art for a Reason
DOROTHY FAGAN
The plan to paint bold colorful art is the Creator's plan. You feel it in your desire to paint. You feel it in the colors. You feel the nudge you every time you see bold color paintings.
If you use oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, or any other color painting medium, read on.
Are you wondering what is the next step in your artistic journey?
I asked myself exactly that question six years ago! I felt stagnated. I yearned for more. But I had no idea how to satisfy it. I went in search of new direction.
I discovered a confident bold palette. And I discovered a unique process I call CreativSOUP.
Paint Bold Colorful Art
Release Your Divine Creativity
I learned that painting boldly to satisfy my inner yearning, means releasing my divine feminine power of Creativity. Unlike the divine masculine way of following a plan, I learned to balance the two. I gave up fighting for it. And opened myself to all the gifts of my Feminine Creativity.
My stagnation disappeared. Strokes of confidence replaced my angst. And the muddy colors took leave. I broke through with paintings like the one here.

How I Did It
How I Learned to Paint Loose, Bold, Colorful Paintings
The short answer is I stopped painting altogether. Quitting was the most difficult thing I've ever done. Looking back, it was the most inspired, brave moment of my life.
It took far more courage to lay down my dream of being an artist, than to face an attacker with a knife. Whether someone was trying to kill me, or I was trying to kill the artist within me ~ the gift I received is Faith.
The name I took at my Confirmation came back to rescue me, in my moment of greatest fear. My bold colors and brush strokes spoke everything my heart wished to say, but could not.
You can see it in my most recent painting, The Yellow Door. My sisters called me Dorr growing up. In this painting, like a dream, I am opening my door to you. The fruits of passion are ripe for picking. My quilt of many colors hangs out for all to see.
Do you think for a moment that I had all that planned out? Not hardly! I do hope you will join me in my CreativSOUP Mentorship.
