This is where I am with this piece. Liking the direction it's going , but i'm still not satisfied with it. Hmmmm.... what to do... 🤔 So far - watercolor, gouache, pastel, colorpencil, pen ✍️ Maya Angelou's Touched by an Angel . #artjourney #artmixedmedia #artjournalpage #

What do you think about the in-between part of the process, or the "ugly phase"? Adventure or Anxiety? It is still progress, hmmm... though, it's going in a slightly different direction than intended. That's okay, I say it's an adventure! ✍️Maya Angelou's "Touched

New piece started. This time I'm playing with gouache and watercolor. ✍️Maya Angelou's "Touched by an Angel" . #artinprogresss #artjourney #artjournalpage #watercolor #gouache

She's done! "... I believe it is important to let our imperfections be. They are precious, for they help us understand those who see us with the heart." ✍️ Frida Kahlo 🎨 acrylic paint & marker, alcohol marker, watercolor, ink, color pencil, pastel pencil . . #art #artj

She's taking taking shape. I am throwing all the media at this one! It's fun playing around with no rules. Seeing how mediums react/look... then you get a, "Ooooo!", moment. 😁 So far - pencil, color pencil, acrylic paint, watercolor, alcohol marker, ink . . #workinprogressart

Starting a new mixed media piece. Beginning with pencil and acrylics. Let's see where she leads me! Quote = Frida Kahlo . . #artjournalpage #workinprogressart #acrylicpainting #sketchbook art

A quick doodle sketch with ball point pens today. . . #sketchbookart #sketch #penarts #ballpointpenart #artjourney

Found this hand rendered graphic I created in my collage years. Liking this energy and power. . . #handrendered #graphicarts #fistpunch #markerart #artjourney

Picking this back up! Journaled a bit and added a few swirls. Used pencilnand color pencil. . . #artjournaling #sketchbookart #healingjourney #colorpencilart #artjourney

Yes another eye sketch. 😊 Hmmmm... sight and insight... 👁 To be blind or blinded... They fight against each other I think 🤔 This will definitely have some journaling added to it and I am still working on the eye as well. Let's "see" where it takes me! 👈Get what I did there? 😏 Used

A journal page I did several years ago. 🥰 Used marker and gel pen. . #artjournalpage #artjournal #artjourney #artheals #artisgoodforthesoul

A quick and playful art journal page! I journaled with pencil as my base. Then, just had fun making circles with pencil, charcoal and water soluble crayons (though I did not add water). . . #artjournalpage #artjourney #artmixedmedia #sketchbookart #art

Sigh... what a challenge getting a good photo of this piece. Decided on a video. Mediums used - alcohol markers as my starting/base layer. Then watercolor, pen, color pencil, charcoal and gel pen.... on Strathmore Mixed Media Paper. . . #art #artjourney #sketchbookart #artjourna

Almost there! Used watercolor, pen and color pencil #sketchbookart #artjournal #artjourney #art

We're getting somewhere... I think! . #artinprogresss #artjourney #watercolorsketchbook #sketchbookart

My amazing kiddo got me a new sketchbook. Of course I needed to break it in! Here's the work-in-progress. I have no plan for this and not sure I like it so far. So I'm just going with the flow of it. Stay tuned! . #sketchbookart #artinprogresss #watercolor #artjourney

A little more depth... I like how this is coming along. There is definitely a learning curve to blending and shading using alcohol markers. I used pencil here and there, like the eyebrows and around the eye. But overall, really very limited usage. #sketchbook #markerartwork #artinproces

Are the eyes really a window to the soul? So far, so good. I think that I will probably add color pencil to this at some point. #artprocess #myartjourney #sketchbookart #sketchdaily #markerart

I have to remind myself quite often that if it is uncomfortable, then it is probably worth it. Putting myself out there... not hiding away... speaking my truth... is how I grow and heal. Used alcohol markers, Sharpie Creative markers and fine felt tip markers. #artjournaling #affirmatio
