WEEK 6: Repetition as Discovery
What
There is no right or wrong sky or cloud as they are ever-changing. We see what we want to see. We can imagine seeing shapes that are familiar to us. Painting the sky, clouds and landscapes can be itself a rewarding process.
Why
Repetition reveals variation. As your hand repeats a form, subtle differences appear—shifts that carry information about movement, emotion, and attention.
How
- Put some music on and dance while applying markers or colored pencils across the paper.
- Change size, spacing, or orientation
- Allow overlaps or partial forms
- Work fluidly rather than intentional
- If you love it STOP there!
Reminder: Let repetition teach you something new about a familiar mark and project your energy into the movements of your brush.
