Starting a painting on a pristine piece of paper can be petrifying no matter the size. In order to quell the anxious mind and calm my jittery hands, I often harness the power of play (and a bit of dancing). For me getting into the play and experimentation mode helps to quiet the judgemental part of my mind. Freedom arises when I play. Being playful is about following my curiosity and celebrating many happy accidents. Through this demo I will show you how I warm-up and make play an intentional part of my creative process. I am a big instigator of play and a mixologist of colours . I want my art to inspire you to go forth and play! To play is to follow your curiosity and trust your hands. I work mostly with watercolour because of its fluid and highly adaptable nature. This in turn helps my artwork stay spontaneous and responsive.
