In this video I'll be talking about the benefits of incorporating the practice of play to improve your art all while having a little fun during my own creative play session. This footage was originally meant to be b-roll but as I watched through it, I remembered how much fun I was having and loved some of the techniques I used while not really thinking about much at all. This is not a tutorial, just some thoughts on creative play and some encouragement to begin having a little unstructured fun with your own supplies from time to time.
Not super active on Insta right now, but trying to get there... :)
