I'm in a bit of an art slump at the moment - it's ok. I'm not panicking yet. Maybe I had reached a natural end to my exploration. But when that happens, I have to find ways to start again.
So I was very inspired by Sally-Ann Ashley's words when she had the opposite problem (too many ideas fighting for attention) "So if your mind is a hive of activity right now like mine, ask yourself one question, 'what did I enjoy the most about today's studio session?' Whatever answer jumps out at you, don't discard it and don't overthink it. Let it be your starting point for tomorrow - as this will be mine"
When I woke up this morning, I thought about which item in my studio book was intriguing me the most. It was an ink piece, done in orange and purple, creating an abstract sky and land in very strong colors.
So I did what I always do, colour swatches, and a little experiment in a watercolour sketchbook. And then I couldn't help adding a bit of those iridescent acrylic inks, and Unison soft pastel!
