GO WITH THE INK FLOW: Warm Up

Never underestimate the importance of a warm-up! Just as you would do a warm-up activity at the gym or before playing sport, warm-ups before painting are invaluable. The warm-ups in this book are designed to help you practice techniques you will use in the projects while getting into the rhythm of your creative space. They are just suggestions, and over time you may find certain warm-ups that are really right for you. A warm-up can be anything that gets you into the creative headspace. Sometimes my warm-up is simply cleaning my desk, preparing a stack of paper to paint with, and taking some time to look over past inky meditations I’ve painted.
