Is there an inspiration, a place, a thought, a special something that keeps you awake at night?
A picture in your head of how you would create that special something? You can feel the brush in your hand, as you set the palette into place, you squeeze the colours out, some sticking to your fingers, set the water bowl on the work top, choose and wet the paper.
And you know what you want to put down. You know the content, the feel, the colour, the mood and the inspiration.
So do it! Enjoy the journey, the exploration of you, of the colours, the feel of the brush and the welcoming of the paper. The soft joy of the paint flowing between the hairs of the brush as you put the inspiration down.
And how do you do it?
Here are some resources if you need some help!
