A couple of weeks ago, in my latest attempt to inject some creativity back into my life, I joined in with a short online art course / challenge / programme.
I didn't really know what I was expecting, but it was free so I figured if it didn't work for me, it didn't really matter and I could just give up. As it turned out, I really enjoyed it. It's hard to really pinpoint what I appreciated about it. It certainly wasn't a technical course about how to draw or paint: I didn't learn lots of new skills. Instead I guess I'd describe it more as something of a reflective process, about who we are and why we make art, not so much the what and the how.
Mostly it was about process, not product: but this is what I created on the final day and a couple of things I've done since.
(you can't tell here because the images are all the same size, but this last is a very large canvas: bought back in March thinking I'd need things to fill all that free time in lockdown. It didn't really work out like that, but now it is finally covered in paint and I quite like it!)
