So my house mate showed me this book out of no where and asked me what I thought about it while I poured milk on my cereal. I was feeling extremely down today but I got something good out of it. Two artists has caught my attention.

His works reminded me of how I used to paint the four elements in acrylic in college. They were thick and watery. The way I did them was throwing blobs of acrylic on the canvas then a good number of watercolour on top, the way it liquefies was always pleasing and before I knew it I produce a lot of studies while playing with the technique. That short burst of nostalgia made me feel good, motivated to once again crack on with my studio work.
