Once again - or actually, only for the third time in about a month's time - I decided to go for an intuitive drawing technique that I learnt from @clareartista , in a Zoom workshop last month.
The idea behind this is to get rid of some unhelpful feelings - I'm sure all of us crave to do so these days - and to release / transform them into spontaneous / improv art.
For more info on the process, as taught by Clare, here's the first post where I talk about that particular workshop:
And here's the result of / the piece that I came up with during that workshop:
A couple of weeks ago, I felt like trying what I learnt at home ( this time without Clare inspiring or teaching me. It led to the following drawing:
For the story behind it - I actually managed to find some kind of Covid message behind it ( not much of a surprise really ) - go here:
Now let me finish this with a little explanation of the drawing at the top of this write up, that I made less than an hour ago.
I used crayons or 'oil pastels' ( the same set that I worked with in the first two sessions ) and followed my intuition ( what color to pick and where and what to do with it on the paper ) for a minute or two.
I then started looking for some kind of human figure. I spotted a huge female head / face pretty soon. I colored it in and then started highlighting parts of it with a black crayon.
FYI: All the black lines and curls are drawn over ( intuitive ) lines that arose during the first two minutes of the creative process.
I must say that I'm pretty pleased with the result and really felt like sharing it with you all.
P.S. If you aren't already, go follow @clareartista she's an intriguing human being and artist and I'm very glad I've got to know her :<)
