Paint with Me | Working on Consistency | abstract painting series

Hello & welcome! In this painting session I'm sharing the beginning of a new series of abstract paintings, inspired by a blend of words, places and experiences exploring what the Outdoors means to me. Recently, I've been holding myself back with the need to re-invent the wheel all the time in my creative practice. I've made this video and project, structured to help a little with that. Stay tuned to see how it develops!
