This painting was a bit of an experiment! I tend to get pretty obsessive over "perfection" and I hyper-prepare for every painting. I've realized recently how detrimental that is to my creativity and motivation. So! I sat down to force myself to paint with no plan and no restarting allowed.
And it was wonderful. Really hard initially, but in the end I found myself having more fun painting than I have in a while. I played and experimented and just fucked around without worrying about the end result, and I really really love the end result. We'll see if I can keep that mindset!
