Loved this youtube video - pondering on personal taste and exploring style is always something I 'grapple' with, because I find I NEED to make work that feels quite varied and different. Sometimes I wonder how it all holds together. I'm enjoying the process of discovery through the work and finally accept that I will never 'arrive' at the destination when it comes to style. It will always change and evolve. I also really enjoy when you talked in the video about the balance between analytical part and questioning your work, and then switching off that part of your brain once you get to the making. I think that's a great skill to develop - something I will remind myself of! Thanks!

I am still not sure what style means for me. I have been drawing and painting for many years and I think with time, depending on the teachers and artists I watch and read about, my style has changed and evolved. It is all about how I feel, where I am in the world and what inspires me as to whether I want to be loose and messy in my sketchbook, or tidy and detailed on a clean piece of watercolour paper. A lovely read and thought provoking. 🙏💜
