On art studio days I warmup with fast sketches before I work on my contemporary abstract canvas paintings. No inhibition, just movement and having fun. This clears my mind and brings me to my happy place to create beauty. If your mind is distracted with negative news or stress, you cannot paint beautiful artwork. This sketch even has a big smile stroke at the end which I didn't notice until after I viewed the video. View my finished abstract paintings on my website. • painting Lynette Melnyk
