#pastels now dry. This is totally not what I expected, but that’s the joy of working improvisationally–you take what you’re given, and run with it.

In the world of improv, this is known as, “Yes, and…” It’s how I endeavor to approach ALL of my artforms, and life in general.

All right, FINE! The SpectraFix made the #pastels a little too wet and loose, so rather than trying to “fix” it, I’m going with it. Bring it on, baby! #embracethechaos

Starting a new 10×10 #canvas. Pentalic Woodless Pencil 9B. The early stages are always so fun. My gremlins don’t usually kick in until I have enough on the canvas to “ruin” something. (My gremlins’ word, not mine. 😉 ) #workinprogress #wip #art #artinprocess #artistsofinstagram #15minutesaday #abstract #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #creativeprocess #creativesandbox via Instagram http://ift.tt/1zRxdN1
