I donāt plan or sketch my art, it evolves and shows me what it wants to be.
The technique I developed is called āCloud Gazingā because itās similar to finding shapes in clouds. As I create there is no conscious plan for subject or composition. Itās more fun to let my imagination and intuition guide me. That way I am always surprised and amazed to see what appears in the art.
First I focus my intention on positive energy, divine thoughts, love, joyā¦ Then I randomly blend pastels onto paper with my fingers. This creates a base of soft colors. I gaze into the clouds of colors and see shapes already there. I see angels, people, landscapes, and animals. Itās similar to finding shapes in the clouds in the sky, except I see them on paper. Then I enhance the shapes with details and colors.
This is a before and after picture of my process. It shows the randomly blended pastels on the left (Before). If you look carefully you can see the soft shapes that inspired me to create the final drawing. On the right is the finished art with all the details (After). This art is called āParadiseā.
