Ship on Doodle: More fun in the art journal. Loving the oddities that are popping up. Still working on changes in the background, and taking breaks for silly art helps lighten up the mood!

Cat on Doodle: a bit of fun in the art journal.

A mini-project for a friend ... red and peach rambling roses, bees, and a butterfly. A reminder of colourful, slow summer days, and that cosy, cottage feel. . Swipe to see the cards that were made from the painting! I might use the art for Happy Birthday and Mother’s Day cards as well, what do you think?

‘All You Need is Tea and Warm Socks’ I’m in love with the feel of these scarves, they’re so soft and flowy, in 100% natural silk, georgette or muslin cotton. Here they are with my illustration of Tea and Warm Socks, painted in January and perfect for my present mood, speaking as it does of self-care, warmth, cosiness and a touch of humour to remind us to stay positive during these complicated times. . Swipe to see the different scarf sizes and the original art in the journal, and process video accompanying it. Click on the images above if you’d like to see them in more detail, or to purchase one for yourself or for a friend. They make lovely gifts! .

When in doubt … doodle some flowers in black and white. … Yes. I have been painting, but have not been very pleased with the results recently … I’m still exploring and experimenting though! Perhaps one day I’ll post the ‘mistakes', but meanwhile here’s a rapid doodle that made me happy.  … There’s a lot of plotting and planning going on behind the scenes and projects that I’m working on, which has caused some disruption to the art process … I’m keen to get back to daily art but for the moment I pick the brushes up whenever I can! _________________________________________ * The full video is up at: https://youtu.be/_hc-eH8IcfE All art and bullet journal process videos are up at Mariana Black Designs on YouTube: http://bit.ly/MBDyouTube All links via my profile page. _________________________________________ * SUPPLIES I USED @citrusbookbindery Chrome B5 Bullet Journal @schmincke_official watercolours @escoda_brushes @winsorandnewton black ink #curtiswardartsupplies wood dip pen _________________________________________ #floatinglemonsart #marianablackart #artjournal #positiveart #artprocess #creativejournal #watercolour #arttherapy #creativetherapy  #joyfulartcreation #doodleaddict #arttomakeyoujoyful #selfdiscovery #mindfulness #EmPowerMeArt #selfempowerment #consciousawareness #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #illustrationNow #flowmagazine #uppercase #blackandwhite #flowersart #doodles https://www.instagram.com/p/CGXY8mEnRpC/?igshid=qyyj4nwquvp5

'It’s a new day . outside the box' A quick one. Playing. Allowing simple thoughts and new, different ideas to emerge … which is far more difficult than it sounds! But it’s time for that change: to experiment with a new way of thinking, seeing, a fresh way of looking at things. A lightness of being. Humour. I wasn’t really sure of what I was doing here, so I first very lightly drew the flowers and boxes and then picked the paintbrush up and just allowed things to flow. Joy. _________________________________________ * The full video is up at: https://youtu.be/wg5oS_NRjM4 All art and bullet journal process videos are up at Mariana Black Designs on YouTube: http://bit.ly/MBDyouTube All links via my profile page. _________________________________________ * SUPPLIES I USED @citrusbookbindery Chrome B5 Bullet Journal @schmincke_official watercolours @escoda_brushes @winsorandnewton black ink _________________________________________ * #floatinglemonsart #artjournal #positiveart #artprocess #creativejournal #watercolour #arttherapy #creativetherapy #illustratedquote #joyfulartcreation #doodleaddict #dailycreating #selfdiscovery #mindfulness #EmPowerMeArt #selfempowerment #consciousawareness #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #illustrationNow #flowmagazine #anewday #outsidethebox https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9PRFAn0S4/?igshid=1yav64900tpz
