I might be ill again (perils of teaching in a school) but I was determined to do something today. So I took my 3 favourite colours, purple, gold and tea and splashed them around. No intentions other than to cover the paper. I quite like the contrast between the thin and the thick paint. I will be interested to see if the gold paint stays so 3D and textured. It proves even if you are on a low energy day you can enjoy something creative.
