A Bonita bookmark 🎀

Story time: 🕰️
Back in the spring of 2023, I would feel lonely at home and would look for inspirations on Pinterest to create something. I’d go by the pier, draw something and then come back home to paint it.
Looking back at them now, I realize how they were depicting what I imagined myself as. Faceless but lonely, not sad but alone.
The muted colors were the onset of autumn in 2023.
I made three such bookmarks.
I was playing with brushpens then for the first time.
Materials I used:
🖍️Watercolor paper of any size
🖌️Brushpens (or any other medium or choice)
🖌️Black pen for details
Creating bookmarks can be a fun and fulfilling activity that allows you to express your creativity. Use materials like watercolor paper, brush pens, and black pens to make your designs pop. If you’re looking for inspiration, consider themes from nature, personal experiences, or your favorite books. The process involves drawing, painting, and adding intricate details which can transform a simple bookmark into a personalized piece of art. Explore various techniques with brush pens – blending colors or using hatching methods can add depth to your creations. Don't hesitate to share your projects online with like-minded artists using hashtags such as #bookmarkart and #easyartdiy.
