Last night, I picked up some new oil paint brushes for ProCreate, excited to dive into a portrait inspired by the bold, vibrant style of Françoise Nielly. But as I started, my mind wandered.
I had this urge to create a quick digital collage of an astronaut riding a wave. Then, just as quickly, that idea shifted. At the same time, I wanted to experiment with the new oil brushes by Manero Brushes.
Somewhere in the middle of all that, this piece came to life, a Mandalorian helmet seamlessly blended onto a surfer mid-ride. It wasn’t planned, but it just felt right.
Maybe that’s the direction I want to explore, where digital collage meets painting, where randomness turns into something that clicks. I think I’m starting to get a sense of where my creative path might be heading…
