💛💠 Happy March! 💠💛 Okay, we're almost a third into the month but happy birthday to March babies! My hubs searched for daffodils for my pic this morning but but no luck without driving all over. Painting daffodils with just yellow is kind of daunting and you have to get creative with shadows and vary hues & tones. Great painting exercise overall. I really want to do the raw gems for all of these but some are rather uninteresting or have complicated crystalline structures and are weird to sketch up but I may go back and give it a shot anyways for January and March. Hope you're having a beautiful weekend already! Join my wonderful and amazing art ladies @letters.by.luna @theinkyterrier @featherparklettering for #CreativeSpringMarch with your lovely artwork! . . . . . #aquamarine #daffodils #aquamarineanddaffodils #marchbirthstone #birthstone #birthdayart #gemstone #gemstoneart #watercolorcollective #watercolordaily #aquarelle #paiting #artoftheday #march #marchchallenge #gem #handmadewatercolors #watercolorartist #escoda #escoda #brush #canson #cansonpaper #poppyjasperpaint #blue #banner #lettering #brushlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzJJpjHMPZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lqbhvd0p0lub

Finally did our first prompt for #CreativeSpringMarch 🤓 my hubby got me this nib and Moblique holder for Christmas and I FINALLY tried it out. It's so fun!! (I thought the pic was out of focus because of the double letters 😅) @drphmartins iridescent is always pleasing to see when done too. Hope anyone celebrating #MardiGras had a blast! . . .

Though I'm only about 80%, I'm finally feeling creative again 👩🏼‍🎨 (and I took a shower! 🛀🏼 The struggle has been real this week friends.). This morning had me working on March Creative Club prompts and some for #DreamWeek. I love how my boundaries are pushed with weekly pop-up challenges and my creative crew's monthly challenges. They allow me to get out ideas I wouldn't otherwise put on paper and push me to explore my illustration style (aka, make people and not cringe about it 😖). I'm slowly defining my style more each week and I'm pleased that it's coming out more like what's in my head. I'm also pleased that my start with cartoons is coming round again to help my work become playful and emotive. Who knew my silly #DailyDonut guys would pay off? 😄 I'm excited to bring this mermaid and her ocean friends to life but I'm going to experiment with gouache so on to a fun kiwi painting 🥝 What pushes your creative boundaries? Do you challenge yourself to get outside that comfort zone and make art that makes you cringe but helps you grow? . . . . . #drawingoftheday #drawing #doodle #dailydrawing #creativeprocess #artforartssake #artforkids #artlicensing #CreativeSpringMarch #creativityprompts #drawingsketch #mermaid #pisces #createsomethingtoday #madetomake #exploretocreate #creativelifehappylife #pencilsketch #blackwingpencil #canson #blackandwhite #sketchbook #sketching #creativeliving #artinstagram (at Mediterranean Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bubycc6nakG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f1v01y5ct9of
