Drawing dreams
I never ask myself the question 'what shall I draw?' for this question blocks so many options. I draw dreams, I draw reality, I draw memories, I draw emotions.
Dreams are not just for our sleep. Sometimes I wake up knowing exactly what I need to draw, so vivid in my dreams are the colours and textures. Other times it will be a day dream, a moment of quiet when colours seep into my mind and I find my paintbrush calling me. The most exciting drawings, THE MOST ENGAGING drawings are those that unfold as I am drawing. They hold no space yet in reality, they are not a memory they are a dream that is yet to be. A creation of a dream!
I dislike blank paper, it stares aggressively back at me, especially on mornings where the light is dull and I'm lacking coffee. I keep a stock of pre-painted pages, or as I like to think of them pictures waiting to be born. This morning was a dull morning, I reached for a piece of green painted paper.

Are you dreaming of this?
Maybe!
flow with the spontaneous essence
I just love the titles of your posts. How much time do you take to discover and create such a good title @opheliafu
I've been doing this since you gave me this tip at the meet up, it makes it so much easier to just pick up a pen and get started.
Fantastic! I never throw away paint after I've been painting- I always use it to paint up fresh papers.
there's a prophetic quality to your artwork. I look forward to seeing more!
