I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

A dew draped crabapple, nestled in the grass. Crayola crayon on some type of paper from the great ol dollar store.

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk.

Done with liquid watercolours and fineliner on watercolour paper.

Alcohol markers and posca pens on an index card.

a little piece of my final project for the February mats bootcamp assignment

Watercolour and pencil crayon on watercolour paper.

I put together a bunch of flowers from some recent floral patterns to make a new mixed-up looking pattern.

Air dry clay models, painted with water colours and then varnished, with a mixture of gloss and matt.

Handdrawn stickers, done with ink liner and markers.

An abstract and floral doodle of mine that is available as a print on products on Redbubble, Society6, Zazzle, and Threadless. Try this link for access to all: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

Then repetition steps in. :). Ink and watercolor on cold pressed paper.. sometimes when it’s hard to focus I’ll pick a shape and just keep going...

loving autumn colors this year.

A quick little watercolour painting with an inky outline.

Ink on mixed media paper

I did the water texture according to a tutorial by James Chapman, found on Instagram. The steampunk seahorse was an idea from a lady I am following on Instagram as well (look for @carrieisartsy) This piece is done on a paint chip card with poscapens, a gold marker and fineliners.

A little collection of mushrooms, done with gouache in my mixed media sketchbook. The process of painting with gouache is growing on me, it feels so satisfying.

A print I designed recently :)

Not a drawing in the original sense. Made of paper cutouts that I glued into a matchbox. Part of a challenge on Instagram.
