Unexpected Materials and Intentional Marks

Welcome to a calm, intuitive painting session shaped through texture, material, and intentional restraint. In this piece, I explored how unexpected tools — including wood grain textures, cardboard, and foam — could create marks that felt purposeful without overwhelming the surface.

As the session unfolded, I focused on letting each material stand out on its own while still guiding the painting through color, line, and layering. By balancing bold textures with quieter areas, the surface gradually came together with a clear sense of movement and focus.

If you're studying, relaxing, or simply needing a moment to slow down, this video offers a quiet, process-led space to unwind or watch an intuitive acrylic painting develop through experimentation and response.

• Exploring unexpected tools and materials
