A creative celebration of the energy in nature

This week, as I leant into my mood, I decided to create a page in my sketchbook that reflected the energy in nature. Instinctively, I added luscious green tones to the background adorned with paint splatters. If you have not recently splattered paint, try it out this week.

What a beautiful way to create and shift energy both inside and out. I then intuitively selected colours and shapes at random to create a bouncy display of flowers. Working quickly, wet on wet, I used the energy of the moment to ensure the flowers were not too stylised or perfected. I intended to capture the flowers floating in a gentle breeze.

Take care, Sam x
