Sketched this while waiting for my son during his swim practice. Simple pleasures in life… Paper and pencil…💃💃💃

Decided to go loose today. No reference photo, just started drawing eyes, nose and mouth. Then played with colors all around. It was fun, free and loose. And I like how it turned out. Will do more💃💃💃

Saw a reference photo on Pinterest  of a girl with this expression and it screams “I’m bored” or “I don’t care”! Sometimes I wish I can just say this out loud for things I really don’t care but have to pretend I do…watercolor and collage. 

Practicing another side profile, this time a male face. Started with watercolor, than moved into mixed media with all sorts of things piled on. Love the randomness and freedom of mixed media. This quote speaks to me.. I find pieces of me in my art and love how I can express myself through my art… What about you? 

Practicing side profile face. Loved playing with collage for her hair (think I am obsessed with this technique now). Picked this quote to remind myself not to wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect!💃💃💃 watercolor, collage, stencils. 

Was in a crazy mood. Played with a funny looking hair and hairline, then added collage to her hair and just messed around. She is kind of ridiculous but at least she is not boring💃💃💃 watercolor, collage and stamping

Have been on the road and not able to do much painting. I was able to do some sketching at the airport and plane yesterday. Feeling much better now… Realized I need some form of art everyday to keep me balanced. In this sketch, I tried to draw her facial features without the use of a ruler and I struggled. Her features kept getting wonky and unbalanced… Next time I will use a ruler…

Frida Khalo is a fascinating artist. She once said that she was her own muse as she spent a lot of much by herself and would know the subject next. Guess that makes her a pioneer in the use of selfie?😀 watercolor, collage and stamps.
