This mixed media piece is what I call a Monday to Monday piece. At the start of each week while working on other pieces I often times have left over paint or want to see how something works out before I put it on the main piece I’m working on so I use a piece of heavy weight paper to test all that on and just keep adding to it through out the week. It also gives me a space to just make whatever I want if I need a break from the main pieces I’m working on.

Doodling in a sketchbook is very stress-relieving and calming. I recommend it to everyone :)
You don't need any artistic skills.

I've started an experimental phase of my art journey. It's a challenging time for me. I try to draw and paint using different techniques, brushes, and color palettes.
I'm on the way to exploring my artistic voice.
I hope it'll be a great time to share my thought and emotions about this.
The 1st thought I can say is:
I need to be an explorer as often as possible. It allows me to look inside myself. It allows me to get to know myself better. It's very motivating.
