Do you like to collect things of your interests? Are you willing to spend or invest money for your collections? Collecting something could actually cost you money. Your collections could be a tool that you can use to free your mind from any stressors which in short means that you could use it to combat stress.

Sanguine can be a drawing, crayon or chalk. There are various different shades it can actually be. Flesh, or an absolute blood red, or a reddish colour. This medium can be used for drawing.

Sandy Paste is a very interesting texture which also spreads very well. It is often used with pastels and is a gritty acrylic type of paste that is the colour of sand.

Colours and music, in fact, seem to rule my life, making me also a bit of a colourful character. However, colour features strongly in painting to reflect the mood you are trying to create. The heat within, or even the cold. It certainly makes a difference to your interpretation.

Living so close to my local beach I was inspired by the shoreline and found that this was something I needed to try. On a daily basis I see people picking up and feeling pebbles, fiddling with them and often putting them in their pockets to take home. To be able to create a picture from them too, can only be a progression.

Even if we were unlucky enough to have had bad weather, we still take shells etc. as keepsakes when we return home.
