Lovely Olivia! And all holds so true I can relate to these experiences ~

Lately I’ve been considering how I want to bring this fun and personal outlook on my sketch work and bring it to my social pages in a way that feels just as casual and free to me.

The want to open up and share for my own pleasure and the bravery that comes with it is creeping back! Slowlyyy, and of course with some resistance still

I find I go through waves of stages, either easily letting go and other times totally plagued by my preconceived expectations that hold me back.

The past two years I’ve been huge on sketching as a way to experience exhibitions (without quite realising It had become a habit now to be honest) so super cool to see an article linked to that :D it’s really helped to let go and have fun

I want to sketch now I’m filled with inspiration and excitement! And courage to share! And it’s so fun commenting on a blog post I’ve never done this before! 🌬️🧚‍♂️

Yess!! Inspiration and excitement is so good to hear! And right? Blog post commenting feels so different from social media for whatever reason.

So cool to hear about you drawing exhibitions as a way to experience them. I've always loved it when I've done it (and have a few exhibitions that I regret not having brought my sketchbook along to!). It's always fun to find an article or experience that another artist shares with you!

I definitely feel the waves of stages you describe, so let's hope we can ride this one !
