I've been staying at Anchor Parua Bay for a couple of days, working on some art inspired by the boat races. Clare asked me about my creative process, so I thought I'd share a bit about it. When I'm in the right mood and need to focus, watching the sunrise really helps—it’s a moment of pure inspiration. The morning light is simply delightful. Since the bay is somewhat sheltered, the water is calmer, which makes it easier to concentrate. To start, I take some photos to capture the details, as these help jog my memory later. However, I don't rely on photos alone—they limit my ability to place elements exactly where I want them. That's where my sketch pad comes in. With it, I can rearrange the scene to create a more visually pleasing composition. I can adjust the background, change angles, or modify anything I don't like to suit my vision. Some days are more productive than others, but I'm constantly teaching myself new techniques to improve. I hope this gives you an idea of how I approach my art!
