One to one tutorial with Paul
Paul's tutorial with me gave me a lot of new directions and ideas. It also made me realize some problems and hidden dangers in my creation. At first, my work was all electronic drawing on a computer or I pad. I myself sometimes find the form monotonous. And Paul gave me great advice on that. He thought I should experiment with different media and printing forms. Although I had never tried screen printing before, he thought that some of my work could be printed in the form of screen printing with unexpected effects. This gave me the idea and the courage to try new things, and I eventually took this advice and printed several of my paintings in screen form. Not only that, but Paul also encouraged me not to be formal and not to compare myself with others, which made me realize that I needed to be more assertive in my work.
