Have you ever been told to stay within the lines? Yeah, I have as well. And really, though this concept may work for some, for the most part all it does is contribute to making our creative process more rigid and less fun. I like to work without rules and experiment so I can learn and grow as an artist. And it seems to me there is just no better way to do this than to break "the rules".

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (***I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using these links, I will get a small commission. You won't pay extra for doing this and you will help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)
