Elene's students have to come up with ten ideas every single day. The course of a month is basing almost 300 ideas. After just one monthat least ten ideas that are actually really strong ideas, and five of which would absolutely be viable, real projects you could move forward with. Elene: "I often feel conflicted that i have so many things going on in my life and i'm not giving enough to"

Elaine picked up watercolor painting during her two year, cross country RV adventure with her family. She quickly fell in love with gorgeous nature scenes and found the creative process meditative and healing. But now she’s wondering if her art could be something more. On this episode of How To!, multitalented artist Aaron Dworkin has tips for Elaine and other aspiring artists on how to live a ‘portfolio life’ by finding your signature style, following your passions and ultimately getting paid. He also shares insights for unlocking your creativity even if you don’t fancy yourself an artist.
