Watercolor, gouache and Inktober

October is Inktober and its all over Instagram! I can't say I've fully participated but I've done a few things and I'm using the definition of ink pretty loosely....ball point pens, micron markers and the real stuff (to me), my Winsor&Newton colored inks. Here are few :

 

Then I have been using my watercolors and gouache. I realize I have so much to post because I haven't been blogging alot lately. I've just recently got the blogger app so I think that will help me to be more consistent. Below are some new watercolor paintings. I'm trying to stretch myself and create more abstract pieces, which I love, love, love doing, they just take alot of planning.

 

Today is Sunday, we don't have alot planned, just laying low today... It's going to be a busy week coming up. I hope everyone has a great day and lovely week!

AEDM Day 19 ~ Today is the Day

It certainly is! It's 9:30 now and getting on my way to Suffolk to hit some holiday fairs. I have my day's art work done and I feel so organized! I have gotten to my third page in my handmade journal! Plugging along here:))Here are some of my handmade lino stamps. I have to ask Santa for some new stamp pads this year. Right now I am working with chalk pads, which are okay but I would like to get some nice juicy new stamp pads with cool colors. Goes on the dream list.

The sun is shining, its not too cold and leaves are falling as I type this. I think I am over my spell of insomnia and I am so delighted...fingers crossed:) Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday, enjoy the day!

I found a terrific blog called Elvie Studio and the artwork is wonderful! There is a little video on the side bar about cutting a lino. I like it so much so that it inspired me to dig out some Speedball lino/pink rubber out and start working! Its been a while and I forgot how much I love linocutting. A great reminder:)
