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.

Lettering: a wonderful quote by pema chodron. Let the hard things in life break you. I had to get creative with this one and removed one sentence so it could fit. Love all the colors and love the sentiment.

Watercoloring: really overworked this one, partly due to power loss partly due to not ever getting it to where I wanted but it’s practice and I learned and it was joyful as @thiswritingdesk would say that’s the best part!

Sketching: here’s my bookstore from yesterday. Still using Pinterest for inspiration and am so grateful for other artists I can emulate. We lost power as I was drawing this so finished it in low light.

Lettering: yesterday’s @lizelayne #sidebyside2023 lesson centered around a story that involves violets and had this wonderful quote so I decided to draw some violets and write it out.

Lettering: In this morning’s #sidebyside2023 class @lizelayne linked to poems that might change your life which reminded me of One Art by Elizabeth Bishop which deeply affected me and has stuck with me since my friend @winduprobots introduced it to me years ago.

 

I loved painting this page and how the colors mixed the way they wanted to and I loved writing out the poem.

Sketching: today’s little house, while these are getting a bit easier the more challenging ones are not getting any more achievable to me so I have to figure out how to slowly get there…
