I've been drawing off and on the past several weeks, mostly working on cross hatching, but I can't remember the last time I picked up a paint brush until today. Today, it became something I just wanted to do. Surprisingly, it didn't feel self conscious or awkward at all.
It started out great and I drew out and got a good start on a painting. I was just going for big, bold paint strokes. I lost that by over-working. The painting is not done and it's too late to take a picture with any natural light, so there's nothing to show, yet. Tomorrow, I plan to finish it.
The start of this painting felt so good that I think I want to focus on painting big bold strokes, trying to capture the broader essence, and not being focused on the end result. All of which feels exciting and a good way to get back into the habit of painting!
