Dear Creative Adventurers,
Here is what is happening in the studio. I am enjoying putting
washes down and seeing where the color goes. Then making shapes into objects.
Some of them do not have enough color on them, like the water lilies. Some of
them have too much paint on them the orange flower painting. I am trying to un-paint
light places into them. There is every possibility I am trying to save a
picture that may not work. I feel something with this one. The end result may
mean a dead picture. I am counting whatever I learn from playing with the
colors there is material for the following pictures.
My husband does not enjoy the flower experiment. He prefers
the single objects that pop. Flowers are a challenge for me. I like to fill my
brush and put lots of color on the paper. Flowers require a delicate process of
more water than paint. Sometimes I hit the balance sometimes like the orange
flowers I commit too quickly. This feels like a skill I need to master to go on
to the next step… What is the next step? Therein lies the magic, I will know
when I pass into the mist make a happy mistake and then I will be off on that
adventure.
The most important part about this process is practicing so
I can make those mistakes which teach me the next process. Some days I take two
steps forwards, others three steps back. The part I have had to learn is getting
over my perfectionism and embracing the mistakes. Can you relate? Please share…
Sincerely,
Emily Froemel
