Alaskan Raven Studio

I like bold brushstrokes and the tell tale marks of a brush. Strokes of emotion. I like to see action and surprises as textures collide and depth happens. Colors dance and embolden each other. I don’t niggle with small brushes and don’t fiddle with details. Just let paint tell the story. I get out of it’s way.

Excellent. You’re on the right path. A creative line curves and trembles. It is playful, delicate or yells boldly. Straight lines have a purpose but not in your sketchbook. Express yourself with lines that twist with surprises. Experience the joy of creativity. Lose track of time. Create. Draw wildly.

What is wild?
What does it mean? Wild is untamed. Unrestrained. Unbroken. Wild can even be unruly. A little rough. Unpredictable. Wild is strong. Enthusiastic. Excited. Sometimes fierce. Wild is that uninhabited place that others don’t know about. Wild knows how to live. It conquers obstacles. Fights dragons. Wild thinks the impossible is do-able. Dreams wonderful dreams. Wild can do it. Wild will do it. Wild is doing it. Consider the wild card. The wild card can do anything. It can break the rules. It is the rule. The wild card has more power. More versatility. More possibilities. It is the card you want. Everyone wants it. Wild is wonderful. We all need wild in our life.
Do you want a little bit or a lot?
Be wild. Stay wild.
