My art journey🫶🏼🎨

5/26 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my art journey over the past ten years, I realize how much patience, practice, and passion are necessary to grow as an artist. Starting at age 6, my early drawings were simple and unrefined, but every sketch helped build a foundation. By age 16, I developed more confidence and a unique style through experimenting with different techniques and tools, including digital graphic design. One important lesson I learned is to embrace every stage of your progress. What may seem like beginner mistakes are actually valuable steps that teach you about shapes, colors, and composition. I also found it crucial to regularly seek feedback from peers and mentors—this helped me identify areas to improve and motivated me to keep going. Using hashtags like #art and #sharemyart on social platforms allowed me to connect with a supportive online community, encouraging me to share my work publicly and gain inspiration from others. Additionally, exploring graphic design opened up new creative possibilities, blending traditional art with digital elements. If you’re passionate about art, my advice is to start early and stay consistent. Celebrate small milestones, try different styles, and don’t be afraid to show your progress. Art is a long-term journey that enriches your creativity and self-expression in ways beyond just the final piece.

In the spirit of documenting my art journey I want to share my art and I hope to watch it get better. I will share my projects as they are assigned, sketchbook and all. My sketchbook is my heart so I hope my vulnerability is respected. #myartjourney #lauralea #onemoredayforfletcher

Started my art journey 70+ days ago…
I decided about 76 days ago that I wanted to teach myself how to illustrate. So I challenged myself to draw something everyday for 100 days. I am currently on day 76. This journey has been so fun and it’s the creativity I’ve been yearning in my life. I wish I joined lemon8 as soon as I started

My Art Journey
This is where my painting story began. It was covid and a friend of mine and I took an on-line class in abstract expressionism. We painted together and had so much fun I soon transitioned into florals. I liked creating loose, spontaneous looking pieces that were larger than what I’m painting now
