Moonshine 2019 New Moon in Scorpio

This is my new moon spread for Effy Wild’s Moonshine course. I originally created something similar in Procreate (see second photo), and now that I’m feeling more confident in my abilities thanks to my daily face practice, I decided to see if I could recreate it in my art journal. I’m really happy with the results. I used QOR and Daniel Smith watercolors along with acrylic paint.

100 Faces Day 33

For today, I continued my profile practice. I want to give a shoutout to the artist Karen Campbell for her amazing instruction on drawing profiles. Her instruction made a huge difference.

For this face I made a pencil sketch and then used watercolors, Ecoline brush markers, black and blue elegant writer pens, black Faber Castell pen, and black and white Stabilo-All pencils.

100 Faces Day 29

Today’s prompt from #mabgraveshalloweenclub2019 was “cryptid.” I decided to honor the beautiful, mesmerizing trees across the street that were cut down. Trees are like people to me and my son, so it was very difficult to watch the demise of trees that had been a part of our view for nearly fifteen years. Sigh…
