Back to Making Art I Love

I have been on quite a journey and will continue as I try new mediums in art. I am always learning and I enjoy that. But sometimes, I miss the drawing and coloring with Copics.

So the other night (morning, really... 4am) when I just couldn't seem to sleep, I decided I wanted to just draw something that made me happy. By 5am I had this start and I was tired enough to drag myself to bed. Actually, I went to bed with just a pencil drawing on my table.


I got up about 830am and started inking. And then erased all the pencil. I can't even begin to tell you how happy my heart was to get back to making the art I love to create.

After some chores, I sat down to start coloring. I love every step of this process!!!

Progression:


And finally, the finished painting... a mix of Copic fun and acrylic experiments with my new Tim Holtz stencils... haha.. LOVE!

      Tiare, you're so right. Your a source of encouragement for me to let my art come from my heart.I always see your best pieces come when you are excited about creating them and that's how it was witth this piece.
