Here's another exercise... I followed @makoccinos video on painting water reflections. (Swipe to see her painting.) She made it look so easy! 😲 I'm actually pretty satisfied with how my first water reflection turned out. BUT it's the trees that I need to work on. They look like green cotton candy.🤣 Note to self: Practice painting trees. 😉
.
I have a stiff neck, so this piece took me while to do becuz I can't turn my head or look down very much without crying in pain. 😭 I hope it gets better tomorrow... Anyway, happy Friday everyone!

I did a thing. 🤔 Last night, I took 10 minutes to try this "painting." No plans. Nothing. I drew with Tombow markers, then used a waterbrush to wet the colors to see if they blended.... They did! 👏 Then I tried a black micron pen to draw on top...and it turned out pretty well. The lettering part though...I'll have to use a different pen because this Tombow calligraphy pen didn't glide smoothly on this at all. Also, my palm tree needs a lot work, apparently. 😅
.
I want to try this again.

So I kind of got my 10 year old daughter started on journaling... 😅 I'm thinking in the lines of "partner in crime" is more accurate. Here is her first page. It looks familiar because her inspiration was the first page of my current journal - swipe to see mine. 😊 She did wonderfully, didn't she? And that flat lay arrangement was totally her idea. I'm so proud, haha!
.
I got her a Dingbats Notebooks - she picked the whale - for her first journal because it has the perfect thickness to handle her heavy beginner's hand - AND it was very affordable! (So affordable I got myself one again for next year already! Shhh...don't tell my husband. 😉)
.
Do any of your kids journal too?

Remember back in high school when you had to run the mile because it was being timed and required by the state? 😫 You HAD to run, and by the end you're huffing and puffing...all you could think was, "just breathe, just breathe." Well, this week, do just that - JUST BREATHE. Don't say or do anything you'll regret. Stop. Just breathe. And maybe, you can make that important decision you've been meaning to get to - with a clearer head... So repeat after me, "Just Breathe." ❤️

Tried a new painting style for this spread... It's supposed to look like a blotchy, dappled, quick painting sketch. 🤔 I need to work on my blending and highlights! 😅 Plus, I'm still learning how to mix colors. Kiki looks too pink and Tombo is kinda jaundiced. Oops. 😳 Learning to paint is a little frustrating, but I'm enjoying the process nonetheless. 😊

Art Supply haul! 😍😭😍 It's been forever since I've been in an art supply store, and oh my, it was heaven! I wish I could just live in that store. I wanted to buy everything. Lucky for my husband, I didn't! 😂
.
BUT, I did manage to snag a few things I've been wanting to try...
.
1. @winsorandnewton Gouache Primary Colour Set - I'm really curious how gouache compares to watercolors.
2. @sennelier1887 Drawing Gum/Masking Fluid - I had to ask a clerk if "drawing gum" was the French term for masking fluid...🤔 It was! 😅 This one an Extra Fine 0.5mm tip - perfect for detailing.
3. @pilotpenusa Kakuno Fountain Pen - According to the back of the package, it's "Simply the best choice for your 1st Fountain Pen!" We'll see about that! 😉
4. @pilotpenusa Namiki Fountain Pen ink cartridge, 12set, black
5. @kuretakezig_usa Clean Color Real Brush Pen, 12set - I love how these layer like real watercolors, not like markers.
6. @davinci_artistbrushes_official Microbrush no.943, round tip - I don't have this size too and I think this will come real handy for gouache and watercolors
.
Do you have any of these art materials? If so, any TIPS & TRICKS you could share with this beginner? I'd really appreciate it. 😊
