Focused on value and shadows to build movement and depth in this roadtrip sketch. It’s not charcoal, which we used with @bethgismondiart at @artathca to study these concepts last week, but I learned I’m messssssy with charcoal so I’ll stick with pencil in the car 🫣✏️

Loving my first semester of Sketching with @bethgismondiart and @artathca at @hopartscenter! I’m learning many principles and techniques, and am already experiencing so much growth. It is absolutely making me a better artist and helping me to express myself more freely and clearly through my art.

Keep learning and support local art centers! ❤️🎨

Painting the edges at the same time as the front 😜 It’s such a drag to pause, rotate the canvas, and cover the “boring” parts .. for me, at least. But I’ve learned my lesson after not being able to replicate the same colors and effects on the sides too many times 😔

I can’t tell you how many struggles I’ve solved while painting. There’s something about the repetitive application of paint, figuring out what images to put where, and getting lost in other worlds that you compose that brings so much calm and clarity. If you’re having a trouble or a worry, create something.. the answer will reveal itself ❤️✌️

Feeling immensely grateful and overjoyed that my art has been chosen to be part of @peoplespreadlove ‘s kindness kits, which volunteers use to send handwritten notes of love and encouragement to people all over the world. This is why I started sharing my art - to connect, comfort, and remind others that we are never alone. @peoplespreadlove is an incredible organization with a heart-centered mission, and I’m humbled that my work will be part of something so meaningful. More details to come but in the meantime, check them out as they celebrate their 10-year anniversary, and thank you, PSL ❤️❤️

Grace/grace .. in progress. The last piece I was working on felt clunky and forced. No idea why. Just happens sometimes. I covered over that one, gave myself some grace and out flowed Grace ❤️
