Listening: I have read every book Ann Patchett wrote. I love her writing, her characters, her storytelling. This book is read by the magical Meryl Streep and it’s such a joy to listen to.

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.

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.
