I hope this bog post finds you safe and healthy.
So yeah… it’s been a while, eh? Instead of copying and pasting re-writing my post from my main blog, allow me to link it here.
Among the adventures mentioned in the aforementioned post, I have been learning and doing a fair bit as far as my creativity is concerned.
Since 2019 I have been doing some new things, including: creative bullet journaling, learning brush and pointed pen calligraphy, and also learning watercolor painting. I’ve also done some drawing and doodling, but ever since Covid-19’s appearance it seems my artistic mojo has gone on a bit of a vacation. It’s quite frustrating at times. However, I’m not giving up, nor am I giving place to creative block. Even if I’m not physically doing something creative, I’m still fueling my creativity by watching and learning from videos on YouTube and Skillshare.
Speaking of Skillshare, you can get a month for free by clicking here.
No, I am not an instructor nor am I affiliated with them. It’s just my gift to you.
I have been learning Calligraphy from Becca of The Happy Ever Crafter and have enjoyed every minute of it! If you’d like to learn, you can sign up for her free introductory course here; the new semester begins in January. Becca is clever, fun and is very detailed in her teaching.
Here is a piece I did, shortly before our final course ended. It’s not perfect, as I’m still learning and growing, but it’ll get better with time.
And in closing, here are a couple watercolor pieces I did recently.
Supplies I used:
Paints: Winsor & Newton and Grumbacher
Brushes: W&N Cotman 6 & 12 round; Princeton 0 round
Paper: Strathmore hardbound watercolor journal 400 series (8.5″x11″/21,6×27,9 cm) 140 lb./300 g/m2
