Do some thing!

The blogmates and I did not take on a new prompt this week. We were all otherwise occupied. I found myself facing a blank page, having the desire to produce something but not knowing what to paint. I generally paint as a meditation; to relieve anxiety and to restore order and balance. When I don’t know what to paint, I need to do something to get the energy moving.
I’ll use the less precious practice paper and maybe start doodling, or divide up the paper into squares and draw something different in each one. The idea is to do something rather than nothing. It’s easier to develop an idea from a place of movement rather than stillness. I did  manage to complete a picture. It’s a practice piece. Water is so interesting and so challenging to paint.

This is beautiful.You get a wonderful texture with your brush. The 2 dimensional page feels 3 dimensional. Thank you for drawing this week. I did a quick sketch when I as in Berlin. I also thought a lot about drawing during the week.
