@Phill Hatton It definitely feels more intentional than messy. The work feels like it could be telling a story or two. Great work!

From cardboard box to print
I'm about to try and make a print with a pice of old cereal box. I'm aware that the process of printing, especially in this way, is probably alien to some of you so I thought it could be interesting to show the process. And make myself accountable to finish it 😅 In my case it's going to start with a simple rough sketch on a piece of cheap flimsy-ish card and something pointy to work with. You can use a scalpel, Stanley knife or something with a sharp point. Here I've got a dry point tool but that's really not necessary. A fine knitting needle would work fine for example.

Thank you for sharing your process. Most interesting. I think the print came out pretty good! I might try this in the future.
Happy Accident
I just did a very quick watercolour to practice and help relax after work. I used a tissue to blot some of the paint and the shape of the tissue unknowlingly made it look like sails so I turned the shape into boats 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I could finish it and make it neater ⛵

It's amazing how the best things in art happen when you relax, let go and don't overthink it! Looks great!
Challenge! Show Up & Create
Most artists don’t fail because of talent. They disappear. So let’s fix that. New challenge: Show Up & Create → 3x per week→ for 30 days→ post whatever you made (finished or messy) Rules: - No perfection - No overthinking - Just proof you showed up - Miss a day? Don’t quit. Just continue. This is about becoming someone who creates. Not someone who waits. I’m in too. Who’s joining?

@Emma Andrews Well done and your painting is stunning! Almost like you have captured the "emotions" of the clouds.

45, perimenopausal, spiritual, love cats and nature, suspect I have AUDHD, tired of people telling me that persuing an art career is not valid.
