So, this gets, what can I say, more ridiculous. Intention week, Week 11 of a 12-week course that's been feeling dull since week 7, was supposed to be this amazing, challenging, life-changing thing. Well, it was basically "do whatever you want, as long as it's fun". I think the problem is two-fold. One, this course was really not for me. I have been pursuing my own path in art for about 5 years. Yes, some of the elements of this course probably have accelerated the process, but not in a mind-blowing way. And Two, the teacher is already thinking about her next course. She more or less said it at one of her Q&As - she said the idea of a new course came to her about 5 weeks ago, and she is planning to launch this new 6-month-long course in early January! Needless to say I won't be joining them.
All of these negative thoughts, somehow, don't stop me from watching the videos, taking notes, doing assignments, and learning along the way. My intention for this one was to combine the landscape of Beara with wild mark-making. I think the Beara peninsula idea got lost along the way. Yes, I did hold the intention lightly, and it went in another direcation. I'm actually seeing a dragon's head here!!! So, too much mark making. Need to tone it down. Plus the colours are too warm for what I was going for. Was it fun? Hell Yeah!
