I am sure that I have talked about messy art before, but it is worth revisiting! Because, if you find it hard to let yourself go and be free with your art, then allowing yourself to make messy art will help.
It is a great art practice to do regularly and it can help you get through a lot of blocks. So give it a go. But, if you still aren’t convinced then go grab some watersoluble crayons, stick today’s art video on and let’s do some messy art together!

this tutorial was really helpful, Kim and I liked it also because I can combine it with another passion of mine: calligraphy
Sounds great! I am glad it could help!
