☀️Hey y’all! I started a new piece tonight and here it is! It’s the sister piece to the Be A Blessing hand and this one is a two face saying ‘ work together’ . @royaltalens Gouache on @strathmoreart desert rose 60# paper so far! Will have ink & colored pencil altogether in the end. I started this because I just couldn’t sit and wait for paint to dry on my other piece for one. More. Second. ☀️ #timelapsevideo #speedpaint #timelapseart #johannamcdanielcuties #instadfw (at Krum, Texas)

In this vid I show off how simple it is to use @coccoinaofficial paste in mixed media collage. These are glued onto a heavily @prismacolor penciled surface, and it adheres beautifully. The paste smells like marzipan so it’s pretty much a dream. Not sponsored. #mixedmediaart #collageartist #timelapseart #fortworthwhile #johannamcdanielart (at Fort Worth, Texas)

In progress #timelapsepainting of the BE A BLESSING blessing hand. Adding dark undertones first in these prelim gouache layers. It’s been a reversal to my brain to think in opaque paint terms (dark to light) instead of watercolor where you work from light to dark. I haven’t painted with gouache since 2008 and then I haven’t painted with other opaque (oil & acrylic) since 2006 so.....12ish yrs? Basically a decade💁🏻‍♀️ #gouachepainting #mixedmedia #johannamcdanielcuties #floralartist #hennatattoo (at Krum, Texas)

Flat washes for background finished. Now to wait until it’s bone dry before adding next layers. #watercolorartist #winsorandnewton #johannamcdanielcuties #victorian #floralartist (at Krum, Texas)

Now to decide on color combo on leaves then tomorrow I go to Ikea to buy frames!! #timelapse #artlapse #satisfyingvideos #monstera #johannamcdanielcuties ...... I need help with videos. I need a quick crash course on how to film something well with an iPad and edit the music and captions etc. anyone? @veronicarouly ? (at Krum, Texas)

So I was doodling with my girls on our typical late morning at Kimzeys when I drew her. When I finished the drawing I thought she looked familiar but couldn't place her. That evening my husband & I were watching our half-binged first seasonof The Punisher when I realized who she looks like. I present to you the 'princessed' Agent Dinah Madani.

Fallen from the neighboring red oak tree, this glimpse of Fall predated the cold front. It was still summerish outside when this pretty fell. #watercolor #moleskine #botany #nature

I've been journaling a lot more frequently lately due to prepping myself for y1 of homeschooling next Fall. Getting into the habit of #naturejournaling is step one to having a full Charlotte Mason homeschool experience. It feels good to be painting & drawing again.
