I want to create beautiful, luminous, poetic and lyrical watercolour paintings
2-3 hours everyday PLAY!! |
PROCESS NOT PRODUCT!! |
just do it! |
What do I want to achieve?
more abstract looser funky / cool / modern less obvious, sophisticated Dirty Nasty Loose rough Abstract underpainting - soft edges more wet-in-wet design focus hard to choose subject, indecisive, over critical, bored - JUST DO IT! Rather than planning everything out I want a more adhoc, intuitive design process from my imagination. SUBJECT
