First quick sketch of the year, and maybe first outdoor sketch I've done in a year? We went to the park late this afternoon, and i sat on the grass, watching families play football /soccer. I'd taken my sketch supplies just in case, but the sun was setting, lots of people around, and i almost chickened out. I decided to leap in and start the year off right. I used a black brush pen on watercolor paper. It felt soul healing to be out sketching again. Happy New Year. 🙂

Yesterday i had this strong urge to paint, so much so i had to stop everything i was doing and just create. I've not had that feeling much this past year, so i honored it straight away! I feel like I'm in a season of rest, and I'm probably not alone in feeling that way.
I wanted to paint something autumny (yes that's a word now!), i wanted leaves 🍂 and pumpkins 🎃, and I'm still practicing portraits- so i tried incorporating all those things. I hope that despite the craziness of the world right now, you're all managing to find moments of cozy peace. 🧡

Another portrait study in procreate. The flowers and purple drew me to this reference photo. Hands down the one thing i love about creating digital art, is the undo button!

The lighting is bad, but look at the natural little light beam above the paintings! Gotta post it.

Rahab 18x24". Watercolor.
(Her story starts Joshua 2).

This is a very cool story. Rahab hid the spies, and after escaping, they promised to spare Rahab and her family after taking the city, if she would mark her house by hanging a red cord out the window.

I'm so happy to have this finished. I struggled on and off with this for some reason, and had almost constant self doubt. It's so tricky to paint people that i have no idea what they look like.
I decided not to include the rope (even though i really wanted to), as it just kept looking cheesy and out of place how i was painting it. The red hues on she's wearing, and the splashes symbolize the rope.

First painting in months. Eeek, i was so rusty! I've been needing/ wanting to continue with the 'Women of The Bible' series, and I've been so nervous about it. Especially since i always love the sketches i do, but everything seems to fall apart when i try to recreate them on a larger piece of paper. During my painting break I've been trying to avoid instagram as i find it can add pressure. I wasn't even going to post this as i worry that tomorrow my new found creative enthusiasm will disappear and I'll be back to feeling tired at the meer thought of art. My hope is to continue portrait studies, and I've found that it's easier in a sketchbook , whilst sat on the couch. Something about the studio, or an easel screams 'OK THIS IS SERIOUS!' I painted this whilst watching Ford vs Ferrari in a badly lit room.

New portrait completed in procreate. I also added

New portrait completed in procreate. I also added the time lapse to my first Instagram tv video. Not sure where I’m going with all this, because I obviously still love my watercolours, but for now I’m enjoying playing around with new techniques without any commitment or mess! If anyone has any tips on portraiture, or procreate I’d appreciate it!

Another procreate portrait from last week. The model’s face was really unusual and was drawn (pun intended!) to sketch it. I found the mouth area really tricky so I ended up abandoning the ref photo towards completion.
