Painting Update

 I did it, I am painting! If you want, check out my previous post about attempting to paint here.

I've painted one and a half paintings. I had something else in my mind to begin with, but ended up creating something out of my practice run. I don't like wasting things, including paint, so I wanted to use what was left over. Hence two and a half paintings.

It's been fun. I'm not sure if I'll share it yet and if I do it will probably be over at instagram. We'll see. I get incredibly self-conscious about certain things. That's on my list of things to figure out why.

I had this thought one day where I considered using something other than a paintbrush to paint with. What about a chopstick? So I painted with a chopstick, and a fork, and a sewing needle! It was great. They gave me more control and I like smallish scale detail rather than larger, which is what I inevitably end up doing with paintbrushes. Give me a paint brush and I go a bit crazy, haha.

I'm going to keep painting, see how it goes, until I fill the art book I got. Then I'll decide if I'll keep doing it or not. I'm yet to decide if I find it relaxing. Maybe it's been so long since I truly relaxed I don't remember what it feels like. Oh jeez, that's ridiculous.

Here's to finding new interests 💗
