I am so grateful for the short walks that break up my day at the studio.
Sometimes I just go around the block trying to get a little fresh air and sunshine. Often that is just enough to clear my mind.
Sometimes, I find a rusty treasure. That I use to stain paper and fabric.
Other times, I see shadows and shapes that inspire stencils for printmaking.
I will pick up weeds and twigs to use to make printing plate.
So I highly recommend taking a walk to inspire your printmaking practice.
- Just walk out your studio door and see what happens
- Go to the woods or beach before you even head to the studio
- Go at a comfortable pace without expectation
Enjoy!
