I so agree with this Nino...I learnt watercolour in the early days with all its ‘rules’ but I didn’t have the patience for all the waiting and the layers. I’m a quick sketcher and painter too and often became frustrated with the process. Still working on leaving some of those methods behind😍
I completely agree with you Nino about experiencing the art materials as we wish, there are no right or wrong ways in art! Also need to say that my favourite flower is the tulip 🥰 and a visit to Keukenhof is on my dream list so this post really reach my heart 🌷😘
Almost all of my art work either uses unconventional materials, or conventional materials used "incorrectly". I don't buy a lot of art supplies because I tend to be too precious with them. Too afraid to use them. To make a mistake with them. Afraid I'll waste them. I use things I can find instead. I paint in the books and magazines the local library throws out and gives away. I use marked down house paint from the hardware store. I work with things I print and copy. Whatever materials I don't mind ruining, so I can trick myself into being unafraid to create something new.
I love your ink sketch! Can I ask, do you find it difficult taking pots of ink out with you? I’m very clumsy and often spill a pot even when I’m safely in my studio!🤭
Thank you for this reminder!!!
So beautifully written! I appreciate this push into challenging myself to try something different, thank you.
