If you give yourself a task, then you will start thinking about things in a different way.
– Tansy Hargan
Takeaways from this episode
- Observation can be trained.
Tools like viewfinders and thumbnail sketches help distill a landscape’s overwhelming detail into something you can truly see. - Constraints create freedom.
Working within a small frame or limited palette can spark unexpected discoveries, opening new pathways for creativity. - Sound becomes form.
A passing bee, a distant train, or a rhythm of voices can be translated into marks and shapes, layering meaning onto the page. - Colour is language.
Through synaesthesia and sensitivity to nuance, Tansy shows how colour can express memory, emotion, and connection to place. - Daily practice sustains creativity.
By noticing small shifts in nature, sketching on trains, or painting for a few quiet minutes, creative momentum is nurtured over time.
