Having half a days lul at work. I started doodling and decided to challenge myself to hand paint bloom, meaning to no adjustment layers, blending modes, filters or big soft brushes. Actually I used nothing other than a flat roll brush, only using layers as save points and not for actual layering. Motif and composition kind of just evolved along the way as I started painting abstract shapes and light with no illustrative goal in mind.
Now if I could only control my palette this tightly with natural media.
