Day 68/100 #the100dayproject I took some time between cleaning chores yesterday to play with #watercolortextures and create more #collagepapers #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #watercolors #creatingcollagepapers #watercolorpainting #bubblewrap #clingwrap #airduster #rubbingalcohol #learningtowatercolor #journeytobeanauthorillustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnsdLtpvLU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 65/100 #the100dayproject This one is a little hard to see, but I wanted it to be little clothespin moths attracted to a lamp. Not sure I was successful. I got the shape of the light wrong and probably should’ve made the moths a little bigger, but you #playtolearnlearntoplay right?!? #collageillustration #watercolorpainting #collage #watercolors #collageart #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrate #illustration #illustrating#illustragram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccf2IONLHdw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 59/100 #the100dayproject I’ve been working on this one for a few days now adding bits and pieces when I had time. I was just having fun with every pink #watercolor I own, experimenting with drawing/tracing frogs, and playing with #coloredpencils #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #watercolorpainting #watercolors#painting #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrate #illustration #illustrator #illustragram https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOHP2_rwgR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 46/100 #the100dayproject I’m continuing to play with combining techniques and themes in my current #watercolorsketchbook For this one, I combined the theme of birds with the technique of #transparentlayering and using shapes found in my environment. I’ve been collecting pics on my walks of random shapes created by cracks in the concrete, dry dirt, peeling paint, and tree bark. I knew I wanted to make a bird, so I searched through all the pics (swipe to see where I found each shape) and came up with this #abstractbird I’m not sure I’m done with this one. I’m considering adding some collage pieces or pencil details. If I do, I’ll show it in a later post. I also wish the transparency was a little clearer, but what do you do? Just keep moving forward right?!? #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #watercolors #watercolorpainting #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #abstractart #watercolorart #watercolorbirds #painting #playingwithwatercolors #usingenvironmentalshapes #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CbvMQ99LaYT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 40/100 #the100dayproject The next exercise in my #watercolorclass was to play with amounts of water and paint while trying to paint an actual shape. Then it was revealed that it was actually an exercise in what to do when you make a mistake. Her suggestions were using pencil details, collage, complete cover-up, add some abstract layering, etc. I tried a few of these. Not sure that any of them are any better, but I learned the lesson that mistakes don’t have to stop us, they just take us in another direction. #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #watercolor #watercolorpainting #learningtowatercolor #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #painting #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #sketchbook #playingwithwatercolor #collage #collageart https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfcWHmFV1l/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 30/100 #the100dayproject Still pushing to get my homework done and playing with a #monochromaticpalette I forgot to duplicate my new line drawing yesterday and so I had to hustle to redo it this morning 😩 Hopefully I can get this one done today without tripping myself up further. I must say, I’m certainly learning a lot about #procreate that is making this process easier though I wish I figured out how to enlarge and move things around prior to this class. It would’ve saved me so much time. But this is why I continue to #playtolearnlearntoplay everyday with this challenge. Now, back to work… #digitalillustration #digitalartist #digitalpainting #creativeplay #digitalsketch #sketching #saillustration1 #storytelleracademy #drawing #illustrating #illustration #learningtoillustrate #learningprocreate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #frustrated #illustrator #illustrationstudent https://www.instagram.com/p/CbI1D95rMNt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 25/100 #the100dayproject I’m still having fun playing with #watercolortextures I tried Epsom salt, a shelf liner, wet yarn placed and pressed into the painting, more cling wrap, and the last one is a collage of techniques with cling wrap/sprayed rubbing alcohol and wet yarn. So much fun!!! #playtolearnlearntoplay #creativeplay #collagepapers #watercolorpainting #watercolors #watercolortexturestudy #creatingcollagepapers #learningtowatercolor #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #watercolorfun #collage #watercolorartist #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #artistloftwatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca47FFWL8vC/?utm_medium=tumblr
