Hey dear ones! Thank you for another fantastic year ! Gosh, are we really starting a new decade?! I am so grateful for my readers and supporters along this art journey.

I wanted to let you know that I have a special time lapse video for you here:

I have lots of lessons planned for Patreon next month including the first 3 videos of my new Art Ruin mixed media journaling class. ($20 tier)

For my Watercolor Wallflowers tier ($10), we will be painting a darling Blythe inspired girl as well as another video TBA.

In the Supply Seeker ($5) tier, I have a Blythe coloring page, a video on how to color with colored pencil as well as a video on how to use Colored pencil texture touch up and powder.

Last Call for Retired classes!

Gingerbread boy

Gingerbread is my favorite. I created this cute boy using tombow markers, Jane Davenport white paint pen (the big one), and watercolor pencils. That's it. See below for the colors I used.

Christmas Bullet Journal

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I'm am so excited about this bullet journal class. I will show you how to create a simple cover for your dot/bullet Traveler's notebook. We'll draw all sorts of Christmas things. There will be videos from me drawing and show you how to use lettering in a creative way.

This class is more about documenting, drawing, and doodling. The mugs below is just an example of the type of drawings we will be doing.

We will be working inside and creating from prompts that I give you. Christmas is a time that should be cherished and to slow down a little. There is nothing more grounding than planning and creating art during this stressful time. Making time for art during busy times of year will not  only ground and allow for mindfulness but it will also enrich your season as you celebrate the holidays. Let's slow down a bit. Let's remember and document all our Christmas plans and lists. I believe by doing so, you'll be more productive (and all the while.....less stressed).

Secret Garden using tombow markers and colored pencils

I've been experimenting with my tombow markers again. I love that there are pastel and muted tones as well as bright, rich pigment colors. They pair nicely in floral artwork. The key to using both brights and pastel is to overlap when you can. I like to start light and work up to the brighter colors.
When everything is dry, you can keep adding marks with colored pencil and highlights with a gel pen.

Below are the step by steps:

The surprise red (neon pink) colored pencil is laid down in sketchy floral shapes.

Then, I began with the pastel tones and colored in round, floral shapes. I used the dark purple next.

 Remember to color around some of the elements.

Activate your markers with water.

Allow to dry.

Then add more details with marker and colored pencil. I love layering like this!

And lastly, add highlights with a white gel pen.

These markers mix well with other materials. I also love layering with watercolor pencil!

And here is Secret Garden all finished!

Happy Halloween !! Frankenstein
