Painted with wild colours from grape, dandelion (the gentle green washes), buckthorn, horsetail, acorn and sumac. Plus a bit of help from avocado.
A few minutes in and I’d lost the image I was trying to make, and sometimes there’s no undo. But these inks are a bigger practice for me — accepting, exploring and working with whatever ends up on the page. If an image starts to look “awful”, I try hard not to throw down the brush, disheartened, but instead see if I can fix it. Stop trying to have the picture I want and see what new beauty I can find. It all sounds very meta and deep but it’s really just me practicing not being a “this-is-all-stupid-and-I-hate-everything” whinypants.
