Take 7 minutes to explore - in real time, unedited.

This video is a little over 9 minutes. It's not a masterpiece. It's a window of time to follow curiosities about ideas, materials, lines, shapes, expression.

If I edited out the thinking and fidgeting, it's about 7. More than enough time to explore but not enough to come up with excuses not to.

I'm sharing to encourage exploration and the making of anything expressive, without knowing the outcome. Just explore your ideas.
There’s so many good reasons to do this. It’s relaxing.

It feels good to be present.
Creating is natural.
Exploring opens the mind.
Following curiosities feed us.
Develops awareness of self & materials.
It’s a break from the other stuff.

Supplies:
Conte, charcoal, Willow stick, graphite pencil, conte pencil, electric eraser, rocks, sketchbook. paper stomp.
