When I read your words:
“There’s a hidden miracle in every brush stroke, even in the ugliest ones. The potential of them is huge. Your artistry grows when you keep creating. ”
They reminded me of something a voice teacher once told me, in fact she started the lesson with: Every sound we can make is music to some culture somewhere in the world. It made me relax and not judge my voice.

I love your two watercolor sheets, they are lovely.

I love this idea. I can’t wait to try it. It reminds me of my childhood where, in my school art classes, I enjoyed collage, using tiny pieces of torn magazine papers, organizing them into colors and shades and using them to make designs.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Although I cannot paint like you, I can paint papers with watercolour so I can make a collage! I love your idea of painting the torn edges; I am wondering what the effect would be if I used silver and gold paints on the edges. The idea of using a paint to unify the piece is also very thought provoking. Perhaps these seem basic ideas to you, but I’ve barely stepped out on my journey and find these ideas so. helpful. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your beautiful art.
