Sketchbook

I have been delayed with posting the past few days artwork for the #100dayproject I have been on a plane to Oman and currently in the middle of nowhere but it's been fab. The scenery is epic even if the power keeps going off in our hotel. . . . #mixedmedia #collageart #abstract #paperart #collageartist #cutandstick #dawnyoungart #abstractart #doitfortheprocess #artistlife #keepcreative #travellingartist #calledtobecreative #artistoninstagram #colorfulart #watercolorpainting #artwork #watercolorart #linoprinting #artistsofinstagram #abstractartist #abstraction #instaart #createeveryday #makersmovement (at Bahla) https://www.instagram.com/dawnyoungart/p/BxDA2mXBHx5/?igshid=tuou2kk8arnf

Sticking with some hot pink and green, extremely vibrant, so far away from my beloved blues, but I'm liking it. I have so many bright papers to collage with it might be a while before the blue get a look in again. . . . #mixedmediaartwork #abstract #doitfortheprocess #markmaking #100daycollageproject #worksonpaper #dawnyoungart #collage #colourfulart #creativeeveryday #mixedmediaart #abstractart #artistlife #alcoholink #alcoholinkartist #calledtobecreative #doitfortheprocess #makersmovement #the100dayproject (at United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/dawnyoungart/p/BwW2m9Vh1r2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nfn18mjypgez

Nice a simple, plain black and white lino print. . . . . . #artistoninstagram #ink #artwork #printing #traditionalart #artoninstagram #creative #artistic #artsy #printmaking #abstractogram #originalart #homedecorideas #handcraftedgifts #etsyfinds #print #artprint #printshop (at United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs2Oa4yDheN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3j38sgplw4px

Little lino pieces used in my latest series of prints. A little bit retro and inspired by images of cells I found in greys anatomy book. #printmaking #printables #printablewallart #wallart #modernprint #pfeiltools #artistlife #creativeproject #etsyseller #greysanatomybook (at Adwea colony Ruwais) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsu9pgrD7C5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1psreql2gdxdm

First little test piece from yesterday, just on printer paper with watercolour wash over. The oil paint was horrid but it did repel the watercolour, which was interesting. In the next few days after I have carved more cells I will go on to experimenting with other background papers and layers. . . . . . #greysanatomybook #artforbreakfast #art #artstudio #pfeil #linoprinting #linocutters #artlife #artsy #artistsofig #studioscenes #studiotable #wip #dawnyoungart #linoprint #abstractart #abstractprint #abudhabiart #abudhabi #createdaily #artstudio #uaeartist #printing #carveouttimeforart (at Adwea colony Ruwais) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsp0jzajeBT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qz1m2wbjz3pd

Printing day. Used some black oil paint to test out the lino cuts. It doesn't print super smooth or with great coverage but I get a good idea of how the print will eventually look. . . . . .#linoprinting #livecreatively #lifeofanartist #linocut #cells #dawnyoungart #makersmovement #dsart #calledtobecreative #arteveryday #artprocess #worksonpaper #ink #artshare #instartist #artinprocess #makearteveryday #linoprint #artinspo #artproject (at Adwea colony Ruwais) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsnGzgMDADz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6zyet1syzgik

I'm back in Abu Dhabi so have to temporarily abandon these little lino and water colour hybrids. The printing ink should be nice and dry by the time I get back tomorrow so it's less likely I will put more smudgy black fingerprints all over them 🤣. . . . . . #linoprinting #linocut #watercolour #testprints #letthepaintdry #intuitiveart #sketchbookart #createeveryday #creativeplay #inkart #dawnyoungart #abudhablife #abudhabiart #abudhabi #uaeartist #artsy #artexperiments #arteveryday #hybrids #creativeprocess #creativeproject #creativityfound https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsij4oxjiPP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hl44qegl7138

Working on a project for Kickstarter. I really want to expand beyond selling purely digital versions of my art and I have my eye on a rather tasty printer but it all costs money. Show me the money 🤣. Plan is have this baby project up and running by the end of next week. For now I'm testing colours and mini linocuts. . . . . . .#kickstarter #kickstarterproject #showmethemoney #linoprinting #linocut #printmaking #printing #uaeartist #abudhabiart #instartist #watercolorabstract #miniproject #needmoneyforart #createeveryday #abstractwalldecor #abstractinkpainting #abstractartist #abstractart #dawnyoungart #creativelife #pebbles #sketchbookart #artprogress #artproject #arteveryday (at Adwea colony Ruwais) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgGGYWDDyr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dreyccw7cnwf

One of my favourite ink paintings in my Etsy store. This original has been scanned and is available as a digital download. Print this baby on bright white paper for a great burst of colour in your home for 2019.

Adding some white details to some of today's pieces. I have already gone a little OTT with a few ...oops. I will just have to paint some more. . . . . . #abstractart #artlife #markmaking #whitedetail #dawnyoungart #bluewatercolour #colourpop #funwithpaint #intuitiveart #inmystudio #artpractice #lovemybluepaint #abstract #worksonpaper #colorcrushcreative #whitepen #watercolour #watercolourfun #watercolorabstract (at United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqkNBOVDrQo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z8jufgr38w64

Turquoise and a hot pink combo today. I think my colour pallet is far more interesting than the paper at the moment. Amazing how many colours you can get just by mixing. So far a fun Saturday while the other half has to work. #turquoise #hotpinkpaint #abstractart #abstractpainting #dawnyoungart #walldecor #modernart #interiordesignideas #interiorart #artabstract #abstractartwork #gallerywall #saturdaypainting #dayoff #colourcrushcreative #colorpop #abstractartist #colourmixing (at United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqkCShBDxab/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mobyj7i80s0b

These earthy blues and greens perfectly capture the approaching bad weather we had the other day in my little corner of the world. I say bad weather we had rain for about 20 mins which barely wet the ground but the skies took on a greyish hue and the wind picked up a bit. Either way these colours were spot on 🤣. #markmaking #sketchbook #passioncolourjoy #creativehappylife #artistsofinstagram #abstracts #creativeprocess #creativeplay #artlife #uaeartist #artcollective #artdaily #watercolorsketch #artinspiration #beach #beachlife #weatherwarning #beachvibes (at United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqevpj_jktu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ob3qlikab1ol

Top tool was a skewer, used to drag through the paint.

Who knew my coffee cup accident/ inspiration from early this week would become a fave. That brown green colour combo I really fell in love with.

Hmmm when your morning coffee starts to look like your artwork!
