For the first, make some fluid marks and lines using your pencils, crayons, or pastels.

For the second, create a wash with either your inks or watercolors using your 2" or 3" (5 or 7.5 cm) flat brush.

For the third, pick a bright statement color, one that is vivid and eye catching. Create a shape or solid form with it using one of your smallest brushes.

For the fourth, become creative in your mark making. For example, tape off a certain area and form a solid, bold shape or use an unconventional tool such as a toothbrush, sponge, or even a stick to create lines or colored areas. Enjoy experimenting with how many beautiful and surprising effects that you can achieve.

Alternate between each of these four approaches for at least three cycles.

Changing your method of mark-making and brush work each time slows down the overall art process to allow you to mentally pause between each decision and envision the outcome first. Also, because each of your marks cannot be erased or painted over, you must consider clearly what your composition blueprint will be and how you will achieve it. This is one way to work with intention.
