Diving into colorful watercolor sets this morning and creating the August edition of “Postcards from the Dimple of the Universe,” a subscription service I offer where subscribers receive a signed 5x7 print of an original watercolor depicting a scene from middle Tennessee, a handwritten note, and a brief history of the painting’s subject … all in a colorful envelope and matching US Postal Stamp delivered each month right to your mailbox. I love incorporating art, history, and the lost art of letter writing in one service and I love how it enhances the “slow living” aesthetic. Subscribe through my Etsy shop “Dimple of the Universe.” Link in profile. #paintingwithsusan #artforsalebyartist #colorfulandcharmingart #doingwhatilove #nostalgicimpressionism #artist #allaprima #banjo #watercolorpainting #happycreativelife #dailypainting #colorful2021 #bluegrass #carriagehousestudio #windyacrecottage #chasinglight #sejpaints #learntopaintin5steps #artandsoul #inspiration #creativity #ohtheplaceswewillgo #adventureawaits #slowliving #smithvilletn #fiddlersjam (at Carriage House Studio of Windy Acre Cottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwTStYBt5r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Step 1: the underpainting. Lately I’ve been obsessed with painting a metallic, iridescent gold underpainting and leaving lots of “air” between my brushstrokes to let the glimmer sparkle through. Step2: block in the basic shapes. #learntopaintin5steps #sejpaints #paintingwithsusan @springhilltn #acrylicpainting #creativespirits #bottles #colorfulandcharmingart #doingwhatilove #nostalgicimpressionism #artist #allaprima #paintingglass #happycreativelife #chasinglight #artandsoul #inspiration #creativity #ohtheplaceswewillgo #adventureawaits #artclass #artworkshop #paintingclass (at Spring Hill, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKEhc69BMza/?igshid=cb20wtnees55
