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. #art #fodderschool #fodderschool1 #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #watercolorjournal #artjournal #lettering #loveyourimperfectletters #sidebyside #sidebyside2023 #quotes #albertcamus 
Lettering: I pulled this beautiful poem from @lizelayne side by side day two. What a gift this class is. What a gift Mary Oliver is. What a joy lettering and watercoloring is. So grateful for art.

Sketching: here’s last night’s house. Here’s what I am learning so far: For me, drawing can be long and tedious and it’s hard. So the best way to get better at it is to slow down and give myself grace and find the joy in the process. When I find myself wanting to be done, I find I am rushing and then the outcome is not to my liking and then I feel defeated and discouraged. So for me it’s better to pick topics that I like and really allow myself to slow down and enjoy the process and start with houses that feel joyful to tackle.

Making: I started the side by side class with @lizelayne this morning. If you’re not taking it, you’re missing out. Today’s topic was curiosity and I love love loved this invitation to replace judgement with curiosity.
Can’t wait to dive deeper into this course and use it for practicing my lettering and my journaling. #art #lettering #lizlamoreux #sidebyside #watercolor #gouache #primrosia #primrosiajournal #loveyourimperfectletters 
Reading: The Heart of it All by Christian Kiefer just started but excited to read this one.

Sketching: tried a house too, a little paint from the right side page but I don’t mind, it’s a journal. But I love the way it took to the sketch too. Loving this journal so far.
Bought another one to use for fodder school. #art #sketching #sketch #house #houses #drawingsketch #drawing #draw #pendrawing

One more left! #art #fodderschool #fodderchallenge #collage #watercolor #lettering
I am finally calling it. I am very sad to say that this book will be a DNF for me at 41%. I tried it five different times across several months and I just could never get into the story. It’s not just that there are a lot of characters, it’s also that their voice isn’t different enough to keep the story interesting. It’s also that I couldn’t get myself to care about any of the characters and that’s tough for a character-driven story. I love and adore Acevedo and I will still read anything she writes no matter what. I am sure I will be in the minority on this one so if you’ve loved Acevedo and her work as much as I have I still recommend you give this a try because it’s full of her beautiful, poetic writing. with gratitude to netgalley and Ecco for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
