Creative Ice Breaker

In the mornings I play in my art journal to get myself into the creative groove and break the ice – so to speak- and get ready to paint. I recorded and fast forwarded my morning ritual for those videos – and hope you enjoy them. Take it as what it is – a morning art journal play- not a tutorial.
