Part Two - Navigating Fear & Intuition

In the second episode of this mini-series, we dive into part two of my creative process for developing a new collection. I share my techniques for approaching the final layers of a painting. We’ll discuss how to overcome fear, connect with your instinctual voice, and achieve the ever elusive 'flow state'. I’ll also explore the challenges of protecting existing layers and my strategies to break through creative blocks. Additionally, I’ll reveal how the theme and title of a piece can act as an incantation, guiding the painting’s evolution. This episode aims to foster creativity, self-expression, and inspire kindness and love in our artistic journey.
Thank you for watching!

Greetings! This is my 4th or 5th time watching your videos. As a fella artist, I adore your studio space. Do you live in Barcelona now permanently or are you there doing a residency? If the latter or you're visiting on your own, how did you get your supplies from where you're from to Barcelona? Thanx!

Hi, Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I currently live in Barcelona part of the year. I split my time between London and here. I get all my art supplies from a local shop, Casa Piera, which is about a 20-minute walk from my studio-so wonderfully convenient. Hope you're having a lovely day 🤗
