Completed Laura Horn Watercolor Sketchbook Play

Also, completed a 5 x8 moleskin sketchbook. November 1 through November 30.  I am listening to the ArtJuice podcast.

Louise Fletcher and Ann Sheridan.  Todays podcast is how do you find support for your art?  

Louise talking about where she gets help -  a bookkeeper, a yard person, doggie daycare.  Ann talking about connecting with  other artists.  Ann has artist friends that she meets with.  Louise does not.

Creating a space for your self where you are supported - this is a good session.  Since I am considering full retirement and do wonder what will I fill my time with? 

They are talking about small things they have others do - that give them more time to do art.  Learning to say No.  Louise has a coach - that could help.  But later.  

Photo from Pinterest is a representation of what I did in class.

Fun, brush work, limited palette, adding marks, letting the paint colors blend.  I could do the series again.  It was great playtime in a sketchbook and on other small pieces of watercolor paper.   

I am thinking behind the scenes, behind the current, work I need to make an effort to use all of the art supplies I have.  An objective for 2022.  I am really curious about ink - want to buy ink.  But I must have some on hand to use up to play with.  The ink thing is Louise Fletchers YouTube demonstration of sketchbook ink abstracts.  My next project. 

Back to ArtJuice - Louise works alone. Ann likes to work with groups.  I am not sure - I feel less than when I am in a class with others.  The critic shows up.  I never feel good enough.
