Pleiadian Meditation Instructor and Advanced Mindfulness Coach, Dee Mager, had the most embarrassing problem: He couldn’t meditate. He couldn’t focus for more than a few seconds before his mind would wander. He constantly reached for one of his many communication devices to check for notifications or was tempted by the gambling games on his handheld joy-time apparatus. Dee was terminally distracted. People were starting to unsubscribe from his channel and drop his meditation classes.

Rough thumbnail. Literally the size of my thumbnail.
WARNING: Nerdy Artist Post. I love hearing about how other artists create their work, so for fun, I thought I would share my own process.
1. ROUGH THUMBNAIL: After staring at tarot cards and making contact with ETs while in an art trance, I am gifted with an initial idea that I draw super small and quickly. My rough thumbnail sketches are about the size of a postage stamp.
2. WOKING THUMBNAIL: I gather some reference material and draw what I call my, "working thumbnail". This is usually a bit smaller than a postcard. If I am happy with the idea at this point, then I will consider making the idea into a painting.

3. I DRAW EVERYTHING ONTO A PANEL: I don't use any fancy transfer method, I just re-draw everything and spend a ton of time erasing and re-drawing until things look okay.
4. UNDERPAINTING: After covering the drawing with three coats of matte medium to seal the board, I paint the first layer in titanium white and raw umber, creating a monochromatic painting. I do this to establish my values and because I can correct my drawing much more quickly without having to push around colors.
5. COLOR LAYER: After the underpainting is complete, the real painting begins. At this stage, I begin adding small details and trying to make things look neat. And after many hours of podcasts and audiobooks, the painting is done! Yay!
6. THE END: Finally, I varnish the piece, photograph it, and frame it. Sometimes I make prints too!
7. GO BACK TO STEP 1.
