This week’s inspiration comes from this pin. I am obsessed with figure sketching lately and I loved this one. I drew this girl in pencil then drew again with 0.005 micron and finally i drew over both with my Stabilo All and used the watercolors to pull the color all over. The background is blue watercolors. prompt says: today i know it is ok to change my mind about I wrote about what I like to do. Today I Know is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.

This week’s inspiration comes from this pin. I loved loved loved this little image. I drew this page and then colored it using watercolor pencils. I colored the whole background with Neocolor II crayons. prompt says: today i know that i spent way too much time I wrote about carrying the weight of my past and feeling broken.

This week’s inspiration comes from Alisa Burke. I love her art, but alas, I really dislike how this page turned out. It doesn’t look anything like how I had hoped. I drew this page and then colored it using watercolor pencils. I think the background was yellow gelato. I was just so unhappy with it at that point that I just wanted to be done. prompt says: today i know that i really believe in I wrote about serving/volunteering and about self-motivation. Today I Know is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here. The second assignment for week three of The Walk was about creating art piece around the treasures we want to collect on our walk. I wanted to do something simpler this week. I knew my treasures were my four core desires: grace, whole, engaged, and serene and then I added healthy, self-compassion, and peace to that list. I made a tree and decided to hang some “heart” fruits off of it. To symbolize the fruits I want to collect for my heart.
I didn’t work too long on this. Just wanted it to be simple.
another closeup.
And here are the two pages for week three next to each other.
Another reminder to keep my core desires in my heart and in my path. They are what I want to remember. They are what I want to hold. They are the treasures I seek. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This week’s inspiration comes from this pin. I have no idea why I thought I could tackle this amazing piece of art. I drew this page and then colored it using Montana paint markers. For the first time, I didn’t draw with pencils first, I just drew right with the marker and hoped for the best. I then added a bit more layers with watercolor pencils. For the background, I originally did purple and hated it so very much that I decided to gesso and paint over it. I don’t like how matte the paint is but i still like it better than the purple. prompt says: today i know that i am not willing to give up I wrote about working at home and about taking time to myself.

As I mentioned in my previous art, when I did this a while ago, what came to me was a little kid who gave me a box that represented the light within myself and told me that when I let it shine inside myself, it would guide me. So I decided to draw me sitting down and then the girl sitting next to me, on a rock, and handing me the box with the light coming out of it.
then I added my journaling on the light rays a micron 0.005 pen.
On the bottom, it says “thank you for helping me.” and the journaling is all the things I choose for myself even if they are hard, uncomfortable, etc. This is one of those pages I will come back again and again. It’s good to remember that I have choice and what it means to make these choices every day. Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
This week’s inspiration also comes from the Craft-A-Doodle book. Again from the artist Pamela Keravuori whose projects are amazing. I drew this page and then colored it using Faber Castell qrt pencils and some peerless watercolors. Then I used some other water color pencils and I used some pastels. Some neocolor 2s as well. Then Stabilo All to trace it all once more. I colored the background with the gelatos. prompt says: today i know that i have made it through I wrote about how i made it through all my goals and dreams and it’s time to make new ones.

This week’s inspiration comes from the Craft-A-Doodle book. Specifically from the artist Pamela Keravuori whose projects were my absolute favorite. I drew this page and then colored it using Faber Castell qrt pencils and aquarelles. Then I used some other water color pencils and I used some pastels. Some neocolor ii’s as well. Then Stabilo All to trace it all once more. I colored the background with the gelatos. prompt says: today i know that i feel best after I have I wrote about how i feel best after I’ve taken some time for myself.

This week’s page is also from The Walk. Week two. One of the assignments this week was to collage a self portrait and then write/collage a list of things about yourself. What you’re good at. What’s your essence, etc. I decided to draw mine and made this girl. My girl is holding a box. Last year, when I was in a Coaching course, we did a visualization exercise where we were to find out our Captains and what came to me was this little girl and she gave me a box. When I opened it, it was filled with light. Over that course and the next few months, I’ve come to believe that it represented the light we each have within ourselves and she was giving me mine and telling me to open it so it can shine through me. And also that this is what I want to do with others. Help them let their light shine through. So once I drew my girl, I made some lines in the background and journaled all over it.

This week was all about wings. I randomly googled wings and picked the first one I liked. I then drew and painted the inside with white paint. And then I used my peerless watercolors and some watercolor pencils to add some color inside the wings. And then I used the Stabilo All to outline each feather. And there we are. prompt says: today i know that i am still afraid of I wrote about how i am still afraid of not knowing what the future will hold. Today I Know is a project for 2014.

And this one is from Life Book week Five. The assignment this week was to do draw a cotton candy girl and some sweets. I decided that what I wanted to draw was a piece of Dr. Seuss cake and a reminder that the goal when eating is not to feel full but to feel nourished. This page has a lot of texture. I used heavy body paints and lay them down thickly. Even though the colors make me smile, I am not a huge fan of the page overall. It just doesn’t feel like me, not sure why. But alas, this is more about experimenting and having fun and I did both this week.

This week’s page is for My Mind’s Eye. I couldn’t connect with the work for Life Book this week so I decided to do something different. I tend to be one of those people who always worries and assumes things will go less desirably than planned and this is a reminder I need in my life regularly: give up that there’s something wrong, life can be sweet if you let it. This page is pretty simple, just some hearts and a title with a lot of my favorite yellow paint. It’s warm and shimmery and makes me happy.
