This week; however, has been quite different for me. My mind has been drawing a blank. I would assume that it is secondary to the stress I've been feeling and from being mentally tired. However, last night, I told myself that I would not go a day without putting pen, ink, paint, or anything else I can find onto paper. I promised myself that even if I was drawing a blank I would just put the tools to the paper and see what I can come up with.
Day #1 went pretty well with this new agenda and this is what I ended up with:
Basically, all I did here was start out with watercolor in my favorite color (PINK). I just started making swirls around the page with the watercolor. I then just started adding other colors randomly around the page, pretty much not thinking about what I was doing at all. When the watercolor had dried I got out the NeoColors and just started adding some colors here and there and even outlining and just filling in the spaces. I was somewhat happy with this considering I gave little to no consideration at all about what I was actually doing. All I really cared about was putting color on the paper.
Day #2 went just as well. I was still blank in my head about what I wanted to do, so I just did a repeat of Day #1 and voila...here is what I ended up with.
I'm not sure what I will be using these pieces for, but I'm sure that at some point and time they will find a really good use in some other piece of art that I'm working on. So, just remember, even when your mind is drawing a blank, you can always create something...and that something just might come back to benefit you later on....so keep hoarding all those craft supplies and practice prints!!!
