Once again - or actually, only for the third time in about a month's time - I decided to go for an intuitive drawing technique that I learnt from , in a Zoom workshop last month.
The idea behind this is to get rid of some unhelpful feelings - I'm sure all of us crave to do so these days - and to release / transform them into spontaneous / improv art.
For more info on the process, as taught by Clare, here's the first post where I talk about that particular workshop:
And here's the result of / the piece that I came up with during that workshop:

A couple of weeks ago, I felt like trying what I learnt at home ( this time without Clare inspiring or teaching me. It led to the following drawing:
For the story behind it - I actually managed to find some kind of Covid message behind it ( not much of a surprise really ) - go here:

Now let me finish this with a little explanation of the drawing at the top of this write up, that I made less than an hour ago.
I used crayons or 'oil pastels' ( the same set that I worked with in the first two sessions ) and followed my intuition ( what color to pick and where and what to do with it on the paper ) for a minute or two.
I then started looking for some kind of human figure. I spotted a huge female head / face pretty soon. I colored it in and then started highlighting parts of it with a black crayon.
FYI: All the black lines and curls are drawn over ( intuitive ) lines that arose during the first two minutes of the creative process.
I must say that I'm pretty pleased with the result and really felt like sharing it with you all.
P.S. If you aren't already, go follow she's an intriguing human being and artist and I'm very glad I've got to know her :<)
