A little Creative

I’ve been slowly preparing this site and getting things ready. I’ve never sold any of my art before, so it’s a bit surreal and I’m not sure what to think of it all. I’m trying to take my time, and do things properly. In the meantime, I’ve shuffled around my art supplies to try to better accommodate my habits. I have two areas, one downstairs where my computer is, and one upstairs that holds most of my art supplies. I was trying to do art downstairs since that’s where everyone is at, but I was simply running out of room and it was frustrating me. I’ve since moved all traditional art supplies upstairs, and I’ll keep digital art supplies downstairs. Hopefully that means I actually USE the art supplies, but it may take some time. I did manage to create this cute little watercolour postcard. It was a lot of fun – but I also need a lot more practice. My hands have been giving me some issues lately, so I try to fit in some art where I can, and not put too much pressure on myself.

Houses

I’ve been trying to make use of my traditional art supplies a bit more on the days when my hands don’t hurt so bad. Last year I didn’t make nearly enough time for art, and while I do see some improvement, I know if I want to get better, I need to put in the time.

Supplies used:

  • Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour Compact Field Set
  • Moleskin watercolour album
  • Lamy Safari Pen
  • Noodler’s black waterproof ink

It’s just a quick little doodle I did during lunch, but I like it!
