Lettering: I pulled this beautiful poem from @lizelayne side by side day two. What a gift this class is. What a gift Mary Oliver is. What a joy lettering and watercoloring is. So grateful for art.
Sketching: here’s last night’s house. Here’s what I am learning so far: For me, drawing can be long and tedious and it’s hard. So the best way to get better at it is to slow down and give myself grace and find the joy in the process. When I find myself wanting to be done, I find I am rushing and then the outcome is not to my liking and then I feel defeated and discouraged. So for me it’s better to pick topics that I like and really allow myself to slow down and enjoy the process and start with houses that feel joyful to tackle.
Making: I started the side by side class with @lizelayne this morning. If you’re not taking it, you’re missing out. Today’s topic was curiosity and I love love loved this invitation to replace judgement with curiosity.
Can’t wait to dive deeper into this course and use it for practicing my lettering and my journaling.
