Magical Mini Masterpieces

After spending some time going through YouTube playlists and finally finding one, I started setting up my sketchbook and pens when I remembered some watercolor paints I bought ages ago. While digging them out, I also came across a set of cute 1" square canvases I had never used—today felt like the perfect time to try them. I didn’t have a plan for these tiny paintings; I just started to paint. The watercolor was a bit tricky on the canvas. When I tried creating washes and letting the paint bleed, the water just beaded up. Still, I experimented with different approaches and let go of the worry about messing it up.

Soundscapes Week One - Mountain Waves

I finally had some free time to get to the fun part of my Genuis Hour project, this is what I’ve been most excited about since I started this blog exercise.

Welcome to my Blog

Hello, welcome to my Genius hour blog! In this blog, I will be documenting my journey of connecting music with imagination and exploring the creativity emerges. I’ve had many experiences with sound journeying where I feel like I travel to other realms. Through this Genius Hour Project, I hope to intentionally explore these imaginal spaces and see what art I create afterwards. My Genius Hour question is: "How can using music intentionally for one hour per week inspire my creativity and the art I create?" Join me on my Soundscape Dream adventures into art and sound – I will be posting my creations here come back to check it out!
