That ARtsy Girl – 12×17 (image area) in acrylic and collage on watercolor paper

i painted this small as a color study. Painting small really helps me with freedom of color selection, layout and experimentation. It feels less “heavy” than when i am painting on a huge canvas – less pressure. And that often yields results that i really end up liking.

How about you all? Any strategies for energizing your creative mojo?
