Why, you ask? I'm not sure, but I just love putting animals in people clothes. :) The magical, storybook tales of personified animals are always a favorite. Art journals are perfect for these explorations of the imagination, so why not? Put the sheep in a dress. It was a quick ink drawing with watercolor added, then I topped it all with some shimmer! ...

Oil Pastel Flowers on Color Paper
As I have been circling back around to oil pastels in my studio, I saw that I hadn't posted these wildflower beauties from several months ago! One painting is on Strathmore's toned tan paper, and the other is on some quality black drawing paper. I mixed in some soft pastel as well. I love that so many art supplies can work together to provide great variety of textures. Using your art supplies on different paper types and canvas can help you discover their wonderful potential! ... View the Post
Mixed Media Horse Head Painting
Until around 2016, I thought that I couldn't paint or draw. As a kid, I could only draw clothes, houses, and horse heads to the right. I am still learning and growing (and this horse head is certainly quite basic), but becoming a paid artist was a child's dream. I love my art journal, where I can try ideas without the pressure. Also, on this particular day, I think I was missing my horse who passed away a few years ago. I used Tombow brush markers, colored pencils, and my white Posca paint ... View the Post

First, I swatched them out on watercolor paper in my art journal, then I painted some flowers! I have a VIDEO at the bottom of this post, so be sure to check it out! :) ... View the Post
Edwardian Fashion Sketch with Distress Watercolor Pencils & VIDEO
I gave Distress Watercolor Pencils another go and painted this 1910s fashion sketch. I enjoyed them much better this time. My inspiration was an old Butterick costume pattern that I had about me, and I love the result! The watercolor pencils are fun to use. They are a great addition if you already collect the Distress Ink product line by Ranger Ink. I think they are pricey for getting watercolor pencils without lightfast ratings, but no doubt, you are paying for the Tim Holtz branding. I would ... View the Post
