Starting A Home Yoga Practice

Today I started my yoga practice. I was extremely overwhelmed by my day and people’s negativity. I didnt want to go to bed with any negativity so I took out my mat and started.

I first started with mediation, then continued with a yoga flow called Sun Salutation A and finally ending with meditation. I only did two rounds but will eventually work up to five rounds. During the first round I was a bit stiff but than loosen up by the second round.

With each pose I took five deep breath. The toughest pose was Chaturanga. I was only able to take two breaths but repeated this pose until I reach five. I did feel defeated but continued. You won't master all the poses at first but with consistency and grit you will succeed. So don't you dare think about giving in.

Testing testing 1, 2, 3. Playing around with the correct color on newsprint before using expensive paper. Screen printing is a bit challenging however nothing in life comes easy.

Drawing to pass time. While I waited for my bus I decided to get inspired by the surround cityscape of NYC. This drawing went through many processes because it didn’t make since until now which is why I added some ink to it. On the bottom right I’m playing around with line work and deciding if I want to add organic line. Hmmm... 🤔 I’m also playing around with adding color. Should I stick with three colors? It’ll be hard to play with depth if I add anymore colors.

Making art has been a lot of fun lately. One thing that I’ve learn through this journey is that exploration of different mediums is key to growth. I went from drawing, painting, and digital art to now screen printing. I’ve been exploring different ways of produce and manipulate my art and now it’s time to explore silk screen. These are my first prints after a couple of lesson. ❓Now I’m researching ways to create a silk screening station in my studio without breaking the bank. 🤔 HELP PLEASE❗️ The image to the right is a digital print on clear paper(forgot the name 😬). Image to the left is final image on paper.
