Watercoloring: moonlight in the forest. I would never be able to make these without @thiswritingdesk and her classes and encouraging voice. If you’re even remotely interested in watercolor landscapes go the her classes, sign up for her 10-day challenges (they are free!) I recommend her to everyone because she’s the best and kindest teacher I’ve found.

Lettering: another beautiful snippet from another beautiful @lizelayne email for her #sidebyside2023 class. She alternates between stories and inspiring links and both are equally tender and inspiring and joyful for me. I wake up every morning and lie in bed as I read her beautiful words and start my day with her grace and the space she creates. I’m grateful for it every morning. I’ve taken several of her five things and tell it classes so I’ve spent a lot of my year waking up to Liz’s words and it’s been a gift.

Lettering: today’s lettering comes from a quote by lau tzu I loved the sentiment around soft being strong.

Watercoloring: roads are always hard for me but I am working on it. Love making and seeing wide expansive skies.

Lettering: here’s a quote from another #sidebyside class from @lizelayne I love waking up to her emails. Don’t love the way this turned out but some days go like that and it’s about the practice of showing up no matter what.

Lettering: I pulled out the granulated watercolors for this one and just had fun. It’s not the way I had in my head but in honor of the quote itself, I decided not to aim for perfection.

Painting: I read about the #pantonechallenge2020 a few weeks ago and ordered myself the set of postcards and a set of acrylic gouache and they finally arrived yesterday so I had some fun today. I loved how fun this was.
