Day 215 - Waterfall - #365somethings2018 The only time and way I can do abstract is when I don't try, when I'm just using up left over paint. I can't deliberately set out to make marks. What kink of marks - squares, circles, lines? Big, little, straight, wavy? Too much to think of. So I just clean my brush off however. Sometimes it looks good. Most times it look like hell. Then I moosh the paint around,add some other mediums and more acrylic, different colours- till it looks sorta pleasing. I suppose that is what is meant by intuitive. #Indexcard #abstract #intuitive #acrylics #inktenseblocks #taleswithfriendsRandom squaring. Oh no! I got 2 of the same together. More ripping. Not sure this project is a good idea. Have to let it sit and jell. #randomaquares #quilting #ripping #notsuchagoodidea #taleswithfriendsDay 214 - Open Door - #365somethings2018 In a bit of creative fatigue. #indexcard #opendoor #acrylics #taleswithfriendsDay 213 - Palms - #365somethings2018 Playing with Inktense blocks with a touch of acrylics. #indexcard #inktenseblocks #acrylics #palmtrees #taleswithfriendsDay 212 - Better - #365somethings2018 I like to think I'm getting better at making marks. #indexcard #acrylics #marks #better #abstract #taleswithfriendsSplurging on myself. #selflove #splurging #inktenseblocks #taleswithfriendsDay 111 - Weeds - #365somethings2018 #indexcard #acrylics #weeds #taleswithfriendsDay 210 - Surfing USA - #365somethings2018 An accidental abstract. 😀 #indexcard #acrylics #surfingusa #accidentalabstract #taleswithfriendsDay 209 - Fanny - #365somethings2018 It's hot and I'm so shy. 😀Photo reference @takutanimoto #indexcard ##acrylics #geisha #taleswithfriendsSewing up the squares randomly in strips of 3 squares. My head can't think patterns now. Maybe later with experience. Using the seam guide to keep it straight and even. #sewing #quilt #squares #random #seamguide #taleswithfriends
