Purple Nude Print

I've been painting since I was a child but have only recently given up on the rules and painted with abandon. It's been a very liberating experience and the results are much freer and without the tightness that can come when restricted by getting everything technically 'right'. I tend to paint what I fancy and I use colours according to my mood. Sometimes I take inspiration from images that flash into my mind when listening to music or when noticing particular smells. More often than not, what I start out with is nothing like what I end up with! I guess that falls into the category of intuitive painting. It has a mind of its own! Sometimes I use brushes, sometimes I use a palette knife but often I use my hands and odd implements I find lying around my house. Mostly a mixture of all the above! Thick acrylics are my favourite medium but I'll also use pastel and oils if it adds something, and always some gesso. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work; it means a lot. Have a beautiful day, Katie
