Lettering: You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

 

Mary Oliver will forever be a treasure.

Making: rainbows and mushrooms. More @fodder.school fun. I love making these and I even love the meditative cutting!

Making: one more awesome idea from @willa.wanders @fodder.school journal: to keep a page of ideas for marks. I loved this idea as soon as I saw it on her YouTube channel and am so excited to build off of her ideas and add some of mine. So inspiring!

Making: my swatches for the limited palette I will use for @fodder.school I love the idea of keeping a journal for the experience. I bought the @willa.wanders set from @alittlecreative.me using the @renesanspolska watercolors. I then replicated those colors with acrylic and gouache and saw all the variety those colors could mix into.

 

So much fun.

Sketching: today’s house. I’m so grateful for Pinterest and all the artists who draw things that inspire me and teach me. I wish there was better tracing of source so I can see who I can attribute the original to.

Watercoloring: a quick page testing out horadam aquarell granulating watercolors by @schmincke_official which I discovered thanks to @thiswritingdesk they are fun and subtle. Love them.

Sketching: today’s house. Slowed down to draw this one. It was more peaceful.

Watercoloring and lettering: I finally started my @fodder.school 1lesson 1 where @tiffanysimplysharpe teaches us to make these beautiful watercolor flowers so I made a page with them and then used this amazing quote from @lizelayne side by side class. I had heard the ending of this quote by camus but never the full thing. It’s magnificent.

 

As I was making this page the whole time I had the fear of messing it up and I had to keep reminding myself that it’s a journal and that’s exactly what journals are here for. To experiment, to mess up, to try again. It’s always a process to quiet the inner critic.
