Artmaking Anew
I’ve recently been shifting my artmaking to incorporate a way of making my art in a less planned way. This includes allowing a painting to unfold as I add color, line, solids and texture. Which is contrary to how I have frequently begun my work where I draw at least a thumbnail sketch of a design and then work with color and other marks. There was a bit of freedom in starting this way, as well as feeling unsure with not knowing where it was heading. This felt more like a freefall than freedom. In the end I did like how it evolved and will continue to explore this approach in the future.

Lesson learned: Try new things even if it feels wrong.

Excellent move. It’s like coloring outside the lines of life. Let it happen and see where it takes you. Enjoy the journey!

Great that you’ve given yourself permission to do this! For me it taps more into the mystery of creative process… the not knowing…. the unfolding of the work… the dialogue we have between what’s coming through us & the piece… LOVE that! enjoy the process!!
