I only ever finished one sketch.

It was from years ago. And it looks ugly ๐Ÿ˜ž

give it a try again. doesn't have to be anything serious. could relax you.

I'm just playing around with some watercolor. it calms me down

Never being good at sketching. Always to impatient and want to start painting it. Playing with colors and mixing them is what I like best, but I have always admired pencil sketches so I will give it a try.

Still I donโ€™t think I can do it for more than 5 mins ๐Ÿ˜„

oh I couldn't agree with you more ! you can paint sketch. That's what I'm doing.

I'm just so impatient and have to practice patience when painting. .

I can be real slow with my painting but I have more fun just letting the

watercolor do what it wants. I have better results when taking my time

but I start to fall asleep sometimes and it just takes a while.

But THANK YOU for your DAY 01 sketch here! I love it!

sketch of sunrise?sunset? beautiful ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm still in two minds about that. Abstract scares the hell out of me to try and do, but at the same time realism just seems like a waste of life. Like I'd rather just save time and take a photo lol so yeah I can see how abstract is the way to go

click to expand

Yo abstract is fun as shit!

I like getting my paints out, and finding random things that maaaybe could be used somehow, like plastic wrap/ziplock baggies, rubbing alcohol, cardboard pieces, salt, etc...just random things.

And then I just go for it n experiment and see what I come up with. It's really fun! The painting takes YOU along for the ride instead of you trying to mess around w/stupid details n being a perfectionist.

I love this style . So nice.

How long did it take you?

Thank you. Around two and half hours.

Nice. I wish I had that patience. I have to work on it

Drawing can teach you patience if you let it.

Umm I donโ€™t know. I have being drawing and painting since I was a little girl and it is part of my job. Still not very patient ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

lol! Have you tried being more detail oriented? Something that will force you to focus and take your time?

click to expand

Yes I have, hahahaha, that is when I loose my patience and I start to get messy. That is why I love painting because I can get very messy.

But I admire it so much!!!! All that lines, details and precision. Awesome!!!

I haven't uploaded anything with watercolor yet where I glaze mostly (use layering technique)

100% because I've been frustrated and a bit at war with that technique lately.

I've been pulled to be a bit more experimental for the thread mostly.

I just think layering has been frustrating for me because it takes

so much time and most of my work revolve around using that technique.

It's good for detailed work but I just want to let go and not sit for hours.

So here, I just used a more direct method, paint in fragments. probably more

commonly used in gouache paintings? It's faster for me and a breath of fresh~air

Here's an old mixed media piece I did maybe like, 2 yrs ago? I'm hoping to get some time this week to make a new piece but half my supplies are in storage for the time being lol.

I missed it!

Wow, I love it (:

Are those crystals in the center?

You can post the creation here instead of link if you right click the image

(or if using the phone tap and hold) until you see "copy image address".

That lets the image out freeee so it can flyyy and say "I'm hereeeeee, thank you"

Thanks for the motivation, I honestly wondered if I could still draw since I haven't touched a pencil in years and years. I'll be honest though I struggled lol

I havenโ€™t done anything recently.

But Iโ€™ve shared these before I deleted.

This one was a group effort on a friendโ€™s wall. She ended up selling her house. I wonder if the new owners painted over it. ๐Ÿ˜

And this one was just me exploring with paint.

k I went fuck the basics lmao had fun instead lolImage Not Found

wow. I love her.

Yeah that is the key. It's like when we first learn to create, we have fun..

but when we get older we just want to learn about making it look better...

we learn new tools and skills and forget how to just return to that childlike feeling again...

that is what I'm doing my best to return to with my watercolor paining.
