I find my process of making art changes quite a lot and rarely follows the same linear process each time. It's important to me that I'm quite loose and free with my art and try out any new techniques or materials that I fancy.

Most colours need a companion, or more. Indigo is a lone wolf. Just like me in a way. It's the only colour I found that works incredibly well on its own. The colour range it creates is just incredible.
Today in this Art Rituals exploration we're traveling to UK to meet Emily Wassell, an amazingly talented watercolour artist who so lovingly shared with us her process of making art.
Last year I was lost. I knew in my heart that a new path was unfolding in front of me, but I couldn’t quite see the road clearly. I knew I wanted to paint, but I was terrified. This is when the crazy idea of starting #the100dayproject came to me. My watercolor journey started with letting go. Letting go of perfectionism and expectations, letting go of who I was and embracing who I was becoming.
