As a Patreon supporter of The Unexpected Gypsy, I get regular inspiration and instructional videos from artist Wendy Robinson. One recent benefit of supporting her was a live Zoom session in which she & her Patreons created while we chatted.
It was lovely!
Each of us chose our own project to work on.
I created these faces on old book pages using an India ink brush pen.
The ink flowed readily from the brush, and sassy, peaceful, powerful faces appeared.
I find that doing this type of open-ended creative project while listening to a conversation or watching a video allows me to shift into a relaxed attitude and just play.
This character looks like a fairy superhero to me -- I added splashes of watercolor to the face after the India ink dried.
I hope you find an opportunity to create in a loose, unplanned way. To simply allow yourself to play with your art supplies.
