The story of my Adventure Art
Back in 2016, being a burnt-out young professional in the corporate world, I was looking for a hobby to help me destress. I started solo hiking and with that, I also took a small watercolor kit with me. I thought: If I'm spending so much time looking at landscapes, I might as well try to sketch them, and learn to use watercolors in the process. (Btw, hiking and painting worked great as a destressor!)
The practice of painting on my adventures has stayed with me and now I never leave my small art kit at home. If at the beginning I just tried to sketch the landscape as close as I could, then now I have a different approach. When painting on location, I observe what kind of FEELINGS the place gives me. And then I let those feelings guide my brush across the pages. Letting go, feeling free. Adding lines and pencilwork where it feels right. Nothing done with the mind. All done with the HEART.
Painting abstractly lets me explore all that is unseen. These adventure art pieces are powerful, filled with emotions, calmness, power, insight, and remembering me to just let go. Because that's when the magic happens.
