reboot and realign

I have been going to a untutored life drawing class lately. 

A whole afternoon of drawing with whatever materials you choose!

This study, I later developed with ink took me back to my high school art class. I remember one lesson we were told to just make shapes, colour, pattern with whatever we wanted, however we wanted. 'Freeing the mind' - we were children at play. I've never forgot this lesson by my high school teacher Mrs Corbett. It was a lesson in using your senses, feeling the materials, choosing the colours and in doing so finding a way to express ourselves. 

Whenever I need to reboot and review my practice - I play, just like this. It realigns my thoughts.
