A big part of my painting process is all about play and experimentation. The best way to experiment is to take risks and try new things every chance I get. Of course, this also means I might give myself some challenges to overcome. And in this weeks video, I show you just how I do that. It's important for me to approach creativity in a way that allows for learning, stretching my skills and not always creating the same thing. When I do this with self-compassion, I give myself everything I need to be successful.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
