This isn’t an actual publish however I’m leaving the nation for a couple of days and I’m sharing my artwork substack letter right here in case you need particulars. 🙂 Again quickly!
Hiya, pal!
I attempt to at all times publish right here each Monday however this coming Monday I can’t as a result of I’ll be in a foreign country. Lengthy story brief, as a real social anxiousness introvert, I’ve precisely one pal in my city who I can name to seize a margarita at any time and he or she very rudely determined to stay her one wild and valuable life absolutely and that meant promoting every thing to discover the world as she works from her laptop computer. It’s been over a yr since I’ve seen her however tomorrow I’m flying to the Canary Islands to fulfill up together with her. YAY! (Now to quiet the vacationers anxiousness that tells me I’ll both not poop for per week or have nonstop diarrhea. Is that only a me factor? I really feel prefer it’s only a me factor.)
Anyway, that implies that I received’t be right here Monday to mail you this letter and I don’t know learn how to schedule future stuff so as a substitute I’m sending this now.
This weeks drawing is slightly completely different as a result of I needed to make one thing travel-related since I at all times use my drawings to encourage myself once I’m feeling scared and so I made a decision to attempt grid journaling, which Lina Forrester teaches.
I put down painter’s tape on watercolor paper after which outlined the packing containers and drew my very own wild map borders.
And painted slightly inexperienced and gray randomly…
And once I pulled off the tape, I had some beautiful little artwork (and in addition a good quantity of small paper tears as a result of I used actually low-cost watercolor paper).
It’s a enjoyable and straightforward venture in case you’re in search of one thing senseless to do along with your palms and I extremely advocate it. (In case you make one, tag me so I can see it.)
“I’m not misplaced. Merely making my very own maps.”
I went outdoors to take an image of it and my neighbor walked by and stated, “Oh that’s so fairly. ‘I AM NOT SIMPLY MY OWN. LOST. MAKING MAPS,’” and I used to be like, “Welp. Shut sufficient, I suppose.”
Love and canaries,
~ me
