Welcome to Reckless Painting
if you don’t already, please refer to yourself as an ‘artist’
“Everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.” Brenda Ueland 1938
as often as possible, try not to think about painting while painting
seek honesty, but feel no need to explain (except to yourself)
be gentle with the brushes
none of this will count for your final mark
heed your first reaction
‘suitable for framing’ can be intimidating
when painting ignore adversity: disliking work in progress can be an important step
criticism – be it constructive, helpful or well-meant – is not always helpful
‘untitled’ only works once
