Nine Ways to Tap Into Your Creativity and Tame Your Inner Critic
by Karen Lynn Ingalls
Nine Ways to Tap Into Your Creativity and Tame Your Inner Critic is a short book I wrote to help my students deal with those annoying inner critical voices that pop up and interfere with our creativity. Learning how to tame that inner critic is an essential part of the path of making art — because, if left to its own devices, it can stop us in our creative tracks. Contact me through the form at the bottom of this page, and let me know if you'd like a copy. I'll be glad to send it to you in PDF format. It's just 31 pages — and it gives you nine different, effective methods you can use to quiet your own inner critic. And let me know how it works for you! — Karen Lynn |

Hi! I'm Karen Lynn IngallsI'm a professional artist and credentialed art teacher,
and I have:
My art and articles about it have appeared in local, regional, and national publications; I've been interviewed for radio and television; and I've even had one of my paintings appear on a billboard. (Here are some examples below....) |
I've learned more about how to make a real painting in three hours than I have in three years.
— Catherine Singels, Calistoga, CA I've learned so much about composition, value, and color! She can teach you how to take a painting from the "green goo" stage to the beautiful butterfly you know is in there! — Debbie Jorgensen, Kelseyville, CA |
I've taken many arts & crafts classes, and KAREN is my favorite teacher! She is encouraging and supportive. You learn so much about color, composition, inspiration, etc., in easy to understand lessons! Try it!
— Jenni Grunschlag, San Francisco, CA |
What I found in Karen was a kind, enthusiastic, and patient teacher who is able to meet you at whatever level you're at, to give you instruction and positive feedback without negative criticism. I look forward to her class each week and recommend her to anyone, from a novice like me to someone with years of painting experience.
