Freesias...oil over acrylic with ink and oil pastels

I've moved these beautiful flowers from bedroom to livingroom over the last week...wanting to fully appreciate their sweet scent and lovely shape.
My morning ritual has been yoga, meditation, paint** (thanks to James Clear...habit stacking- very helpful) recently however I've been preparing the paper before anything else.
Today its grey acrylic and a sweep of indian ink on heavy cartridge paper.
Making these moves gives me courage and a sense of freedom..good building blocks for being attentive to the subject later.
By the time I'm ready to paint, the under layer is dry.
I kept going after the video ended, not sure i improved things much, the end result is the icon on youtube.
Very grateful for this chance to play, feeling a new vigour in my bones :)
** In case this sounds sickeningly virtuous it has not always been this way... experiencing the opposite helped me recognise these simple habits can be lifechanging.
