#paintblobs

Day 45/100 #the100dayproject Next up in my #watercolorclass we combining themes and techniques that we’ve used in our #sketchbook so far to fill up the rest of the pages. For this one, I played with the technique of #wetonwet with creating characters from the #paintblobs + collage + birds + making an #illustration Swipe to see the final combination. It didn’t come out the way I planned, but that also seems to be a theme in this #watercolorsketchbook so I’m ok with it. I’m in #learningmode and every page I finish teaches me something. They say #learnsomethingneweveryday right?!? Well, I’m definitely doing that🤣 #watercolor #watercolorpainting #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #collage #collageillustration #mixedmedia #mixedmediaillustration #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #illustrating #illustrations #learningfrommymistakes #watercolorillustration #playingwithtechniques #playingwithcollage #collageart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbsq9NUrG-9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day44/100 #the100dayproject I tried a new approach to the #paintblobstudy I not only looked at what I saw in the blobs individually, but I tried to incorporate a theme. It is something the instructor did in the latest exercise in my #watercolorclass So I created my #paintblobs and then looked within. I drew first the woman and then the man proposing to her. I searched the other blobs and couldn’t see anything for a long time, but then I saw the crystal ball and the theme started to become clear. The theme is love - searching for love in the crystal ball, growing love in the pregnant couple, and believing in a love that will last forever. It’s totally not what I expected when I first looked into the blobs, but I love the end result because of how it challenged me and is changing the way I see what I create. I love playing with all these things I’m learning and growing in my creativity. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorblobs #paintblobsketch #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #love #sketching #sketch #sketchbook #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbp-79pJsiD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 37/100 #the100dayproject I’ve been working so hard on homework lately, I thought I’d take some time to play, so I made some #paintblobs by letting some #watercolors bleed and then #sketched what I saw after it dried. Some of these were difficult to decide what I saw, but it was just what My brain needed…a little #creativeplay #playtolearnlearntoplay #sketching #pencilsketches #playingwithwatercolors #drawing #whatdoyouseeintheclouds #paintblobsketch #sketch #sketchbook #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrate #characterdesign #illustrations #illustrationartists #characterexploration https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXt79mLZEL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 18/100 #the100dayproject I revised my manuscript allllllllllll day yesterday so it would be ready for my critique group tomorrow and so I was just a bit burnt out today. I played with making #watercolorblobs and then a little #characterdesign through a little #creativeplay My brain really needed to play today and I love the end result. This exercise really pushes my brain to invent. Sometimes it takes a lot of just staring at the #paintblobs before I start to see something, but then all of a sudden each blob is a new character and I can’t believe I am the one that #sketched them all. #painting #sketching #playingwithpaint #illustrating #illustrations #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #pencilsketches #sketchbook #newcharacters #illustragram #illustrationfun #playtolearnlearntoplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Can9yIeLmmg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 8/100 #the100dayproject I was going to go onto the next exercise in my self paced #watercolorclass but then I decided that I just really wanted to play with the #paintblobs again so I went with it and I’m glad I did. Well at first I wasn’t. The first time I looked at the blobs I didn’t get any sort of spark ⚡️ and I was beginning to think that I would never see anything in the blobs when I decided to just sketch. Once I got started, I went quickly from blob to blob. Then I actually went back and changed a few because I thought of something I liked better. Scroll to see each one individually. Ok, I’m really gonna move on to the next exercise. I’m ready to play with something new. #playingwithpaintblobs #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorpaintblobs #whatdoyouseeinthepaintblobs #sketching #characterdesign #creatingnewcharacters #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #learningtousewatercolors #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #painting #justdraw #illustrating #illustrations #drawing #exploringwatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNMKEkrhxS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another #watercolorexercise - paint water then add paint and let it spread however it wants. When dry, play that old childhood game of what shape do you see in the clouds? This is what I saw in the #paintblobs The last two are my favorite. This definitely stretched my imagination and it was a lot of fun. I see how it could help in coming up with new characters to write and illustrate. #painting #watercolorpainting #exploringwatercolors #characterdesign #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrations #illustrate #illustrating#watercolorillustration #learningtoillustrate #drawing #sketching #paintblobdrawing #paintblobsketch #blobbyblobs https://www.instagram.com/p/CZn9IElLuM1/?utm_medium=tumblr
