Really enjoyed painting this vase with gouache and charcoal. I planned to use ink and Chinese brush work to create more detail and freedom but I’m not sure I want to now. I’m worried I might spoil it. So tomorrow I’m going to experiment and do another, this time with ink and charcoal then gouache, then ink again see how it works differently.
I’ve always wanted to be an artist for some reason. What ever that means. Perhaps it means being paid to create art or creating art for yourself? I think it would make me happier to paint every day, to loose myself in the process of painting, drawing, making ! Only of course when I am enjoying it and it’s going well! 😇 I like beautiful things around me. I like colour, pattern and texture. I like history, I like to know what has happened in people’s lives, how they have coped with life and what they have done.
