Goodbye Astro
Today we had to say goodbye to Astro. I don't know how to live without him. I'm devastated. I want him back. I want more time together. I love you, Astro. 🐶💔
Lamy Safari with Pelikan Blue-Black
Inked my Lamy Safari with Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black and it is so much better than the Lamy's Amazonite I was using before. I thought I was too messy, smudging everything, fountain pens were not for me. Turns out it was the lamy ink! Now I'm finding excuses during the day to write by hand, lol. 🖋️
The more time I spend with my sketchbook
The more time I spend with my sketchbook, the less I want to be online. It's all so boring, blogging, reddit, youtube, all of it. I want to be all the time in the real analog world, with paper and pen, my cameras, my piano, gardening, baking. I'm so tired of the internet, it's not fun anymore.
The Lighthouse
And to think a week ago I could only draw stick figures! Of course, I'm using reference photos and following step by step instructions, but still! 🎨🖌️🤩
Amalfi Coast
Worked on lesson 6 of SketchLoose free beginner's course last night. And used a blow dryer for the 1st time to accelerate the process! 🎨🖌️
A house in Japan
I am super loving this artistic side of me! 🎨🖌️ This is day five in Toby's free beginner course, "A House in Japan".
I guess I am an artist now.

My first watercolor!
My first watercolor! I love how my sketch turned out, but the paint part was hard. That sky looks terrible, LOL! I kept practicing with other reference photos and eventually figured out what I was doing wrong (a mix of bad brushes and too little water). 🎨
Draw with Me, Gifts
Today I joined a live Draw with Me with Danny Gregory on youtube, for the first time. The hour went by really fast, I had so much fun! Did my artwork with ink and crayola markers 😀🎨🖌️ #SBSDrawWithMe
