Experiments. I just put a brush to paper and see what emerges. It’s liberating because it’s such low stakes. It really doesn’t matter if it’s good or not. I can go wherever I like. These are not studies for bigger pieces. More like little improvisations. Practise. Exersize. Expressing my creativity for its own sake. This means my brain is nice and limber for bigger pieces, which go through exactly the same process, but with higher stakes. But I wonder if these more frivolous pieces are closer to pure expression and therefore more honest, and perhaps more profound?
