Mommy And Art Practice

Getting comfy w the digital art. We started watch Altered Carbon on Netflix. My husband tells me what’s going on while I’m arting. 😃. I’m adding a fish. #digitalmedia #procreateapp #procreateart. Ps Learning curve w the Apple Pencil but so much easier than a tablet!

I sat and did this a few days ago when sitting and using my arm didn’t cause me too much pain. Since then, I have been working on my new iPad Pro. My anniversary gift from my hubby. Love it. However, even that is torture. Every muscle and tendon attached to that shoulder would like me to notice it, weep for it and possibly bribe it to stop aching. Apparently, I do not have the bribe payment. Serious high drama. #handdrawnart #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #artjournaling #neonpinklips

More work in my hand made thin art journal. I had a very cool French kids book that was Huge! So I cut it apart and made it into a black art journal. The original paint is meh, but when I switched to black gesso, I loved it! This one is a little collage w art on top. #artjournal #artjournalpage #collagejournal #handdrawnart

I scanned in all the munchkins princesses she’s made me and turned them into stickers! 😃 #kidsartwork #artjournaling

These collage redo’s using my art are super fun. Added benefit of allowing me to be creative while I am going through a “frozen” right shoulder. Now that typing and computer work is becoming painful, artwork is keeping me sane. Not sure how long these injuries last. I am dreaming of a magical fairy godmother with healing powers. #handdrawn #collageartwork #artjournaling #artjournalpage #blackgesso #mixedmediacollage

Geeky paper moment! (First, I love that I get to geek about paper and not my computer). I watched a vid on YouTube about gluing stuff down. How satisfying it is. Anyone else do this?! So, I took an oldish notebook and just glued stuff into it. How geeky is that! I’m turning it into a journal once I’m done, but the gluing down of seemingly random papers is lovely. (They are not randomly glued down... that wouldn’t satisfy my create brain). And, to totally make it even more geeky, I’m thinking of scanning them in and doing something computery to them. #gluingshitdown #papergeek

Watercolor on gesso. Seriously, I struggle doing this in a book format. I’d rather play on scrap paper and then washi it into a book. But! I am working through it!

Still loving the black gesso. This time tried it as the based and stuck one of my collaged faces onto it.

My workspace. All that ink is being cleaned up so I can get myself organized.... and so I can think. I clean and think at the same time. Listened to a podcast about taking the time to be bored. Hmmmmm. Much to think about there.

[trinih1]

Sketching. Yea. Not sure where my brain was. #sketching. We are about to go through another screen time lock down to help the wee one manage herself. All my distraction apps are coming off my phone so I don’t cheat. (Except ig..... 😬). I feel like there should be an app for helping with this.

Really loving working on the black gesso. Challenging!

You know those $2 bags you get at Michaels? And you buy them, and then horde the goodies? Yea. I do that. A lot. Apparently I horded shiny pink transfer sheets. Yum!! Found them again. Added to a selfie. (Ps. Printer finally working again!). Going in Marty! #artjournal #artjournalpage #junkjournal #mymartyjournal #collagejournal

I’m trying to put more time into my collage journal. I mean I tore apart 15 magazines! Their demise should produce some fun. #scrapshappen #cleanupcard #papercollage #collageart #cutandpaste #handmadecollage #artjournal #artjournalpage #junkjournal #mymartyjournal #collagejournal

Taking a class by @wendybrightbill. All things paper. Cuz. I love paper. First I tried her flowers. Pow! I’m using oil pastels because I’m too lazy to get out my acrylics. But these are yummy! I tried my chalk pastels. Also messy, but I don’t love how they look after the fixative goes on. This definitely loosens things up. #whimsicalart #oilpastels #wendybrightbill #allthingspaper

Today, my body is giving me a little more pain than I like. Let’s pretend I spend the next five minutes complaining about it..... thanks. I needed that. You’re the best. Love the quote and the munchkin. #artjournal #artjournalpage #junkjournal #mymartyjournal #collagejournal

Munchkin made me a bunny astronaut! I’m totally turning it into a sticker!
