painting anything and everything (Patreon)

basically what the title says.

I've been sooo into painting lately. I just find the process of it so enjoyable, that I'll never quite know how something will turn out. the colors and water always find ways to intersect and move through one another unexpectedly and I like how it has a life of its own without requiring so much of my interruptions. it often feels like I'm observing the medium on top of using it. the surprises are inherent and it's a delight.

painting also feels like an inherently summertime activity, light and refreshing. when it's already hot out, I don't want to add to that heat by drawing on a warm ipad all the time. I remember some summers the ambient surroundings would get so hot that the screen would sting my skin. @.@ yeah, so unpleasant.

but yeah, just having fun getting used to painting with gouache. feels good to build a relationship with a medium in a slow and steady way. :]
