Don’t let your paints go to waste or dry in their tubes. Use an old notebook or agenda to experiment and play, test your brushes and swatch you paint. You’ll build pages without even trying
This agenda from 2010 used to be my notebook at work.. now it lives beside me in every painting session. It catches leftover paint, quick marks, and scrap paper.. which often becomes the base of a new spontaneous painting.
لا تدع ألوانك تضيع أو تجف في أنابيبها. استخدم دفتر ملاحظات قديمًا أو أجندة للتجربة واللعب، اختبر فرشاتك وجرب ألوانك. سترسم صفحات دون أي جهد.
سنة 2010 كانت هذه الأجندة بمثابة دفتر ملاحظاتي في العمل، والآن ترافقني أثناء جلسات الصباغة والرسم، تجمع بقايا الطلاء والعلامات العفوية وقصاصات الورق، والتي غالبًا ما تصبح أساسًا للوحة جديدة.

Lately I’ve been trying to paint loosely just to wind down.. no pressure.. that’s why I’m repurposing this old agenda. A way to find peace.#winddown #peaceofmind❤️

This one came to life slowly, with no plan… just color, breath, and a quiet conversation between my brush and the sea.

Weekend by the Mediterranean with @houriatravels 🌊✨
Swatching sea tones, painting the sunset as I’m trying to hold beauty and grief in the same breath. Just across the same sea, another nation aches.
And as I’m trying to process it all.. wonder, purpose, sadness… I’m praying to be part of those who bring light to the world.

“If you are going to be creative, you have to be in a state of play. You can’t play if you’re being careful. If you’re trying to not make mistakes it destroys creativity completely because if you have a new idea, you can’t immediately say that’s a mistake until you’ve explored it!”
