This week, Richie and I dive deep into my mixed media layering process. From the initial burst of excitement, through the problem-solving middle, to knowing when to stop, we share tips and personal insights on every stage of a painting. We chat about why planning isn’t always the best approach, and the surprising value of keeping a bit of mess (or, should I say, mystery) in our work. We also reflect on last week’s discussion about balancing art and admin, and I share a few ideas I'm taking on board. Don’t forget to check out my free course, Abstract Pattern Play, available until October 3, and my 6-week Modern Mixed Media course, open for a limited time. I hope you enjoy this deep dive into the creative process and all its intricacies! Check out the ⁠⁠⁠⁠show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode for further information and mentions.
