I saw a picture on Pinterest of someone who people watched and then #painted tiny people. I decided to try it out, but just painted whoever came to mind. It was a lot of fun. I might actually go to a coffee shop or park and try the people watching part of it. I need to observe people more anyway. #morningpagepainting #watercolorpeople #watercolorsketch #watercolors #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #learningtoillustrate #illustration #illustrating #illustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #tinypeople #exploringwatercolors #playingwithwatercolors #sketchbook #sketchbookpage https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnG9bHLDag/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Simple colorful backgrounds. ⁣ Another quick exercise when there isn’t a lot of time to create. ⁣ Use watercolor, alcohol ink or even acrylic paint to create pools of color. Let them dry, then use them as colorful pages in your Pocket Journals! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ To make a Pocket Journal, explore the wonderful properties of watercolor or learn more about the magic of stencils just tap the link in my bio. ⁣ #doyoubelieveinstencilmagic #stencilmagic #paintyourartout #raepaints #raemissigman #watercolorbotanicals #makingmymark #QuickstartWatercolor #paintpracticerepeat #loosewatercolorflorals #mixedmediawatercolor #watercolormyway #exploringwatercolor #tinypopsofcolorfuljoy #raeinthestudio #creativedays #createwhatyoulove #keepingthingsrealsmall #artexperiments #makerofartmarks #watercolorartist #seekinspirecreate #creativecommunity #calledtobecreative #creativeprocess #doitfortheprocess #creativemind #watercolorartmarks #paintyourartout https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOgy2HJoD3/?igshid=1doqi3qewblzm

Day 16/100 #the100dayproject I’m continuing to play with #watercolors I really loved the thought of a tiny 🦕 enjoying the smell of a 🌼 after I took the reference photos last week. It’s not what I’m going to use for my #illustration homework, but I still wanted to explore it. I did a #sketch and used the light table technique again to paint it on a separate sheet of paper. I had fun #mixingcolors and just #painting and then adding the #coloredpencil details I had hoped to use it for this week’s @fridaydoodleclub prompt of #peacefullovingsunflower but I wasn’t sure it completely fit all 3 in the end. Now I’m off to start #sketching my actual homework. #playtolearnlearntoplay #watercolorpainting #exploringwatercolors #watercolorsketchbook #learningtousewatercolors #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrator #illustragram #illustrating #creativeplay #watercolorillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cai8tnErvOP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another #watercolorexercise - paint water then add paint and let it spread however it wants. When dry, play that old childhood game of what shape do you see in the clouds? This is what I saw in the #paintblobs The last two are my favorite. This definitely stretched my imagination and it was a lot of fun. I see how it could help in coming up with new characters to write and illustrate. #painting #watercolorpainting #exploringwatercolors #characterdesign #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustrations #illustrate #illustrating#watercolorillustration #learningtoillustrate #drawing #sketching #paintblobdrawing #paintblobsketch #blobbyblobs https://www.instagram.com/p/CZn9IElLuM1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you have a favorite mindless art activity that you could do every day? One that you look forward too? One that might not always serve a purpose outside of just filling a creative hole? ⁣ For me it’s all the painted papers. ⁣ I love making marks on paper. Circles, dots, dashes, scallops, lines, leaves, flowers, and lots more circles. It’s cathartic and they come in handy every time I go to collage something. Like in my Pocket.doc this month. ⁣ Plus I just love sifting through all of these crunchy papers at the end of the day. I will never get tired of this practice. ⁣ Tap the link in my bio for more inspiration. ⁣ ⁣ #stencilmagic #paintyourartout #raepaints #raemissigman #artmarkspainting #makingmymark #QuickstartWatercolor #PaintPracticeRepeat #PopUpArtClasses #MixedMediaWatercolor #watercolormyway #exploringwatercolor #tinypopsofcolorfuljoy #raeinthestudio #creativedays #createwhatyoulove #keepingthingsrealsmall #artexperiments #instagramartmarkmaker #makerofartmarks #watercolorartist #seekinspirecreate #creativecommunity #calledtobecreative #creativeprocess #doitfortheprocess #creativemind #watercolorartmarks #paintyourartout https://www.instagram.com/p/CCV2QelpGlr/?igshid=umpav75wru5g

Just in case you were craving the sweet sound of crunchy paper today. ⠀⠀ Seriously. One of my favorite things about painted papers is the sound they make when they dry. ⠀⠀ I could sit and sift through stacks of paper all day. I love envisioning them cut into smaller pieces and I love how the details of each sheet plays off the next. And lately exploring watercolor has become my favorite medium for painting. After the workshop I co-taught with @sandikeene, QuickStart Watercolor, launched I couldn’t stop experimenting with all the things this paint could do for me. So yeah! Lots of painted papers. Lots of colorful crunchy stacks.

A few years ago I fell hard for working small. The Pocket Journal was born and everything was roses. I use this tiny journal as a forever home for lots of my small artwork. Little pages means little pieces. ⠀⠀ Then I fell in love with watercolor. The kind of love that makes you crazy. Beautiful and easy to read one moment and untamed and elusive the next. ⠀⠀ It wasn’t until I began pairing the two-Pocket Journal and watercolor (thank you @sandikeene)-that I realized just how much I enjoyed creating this way. Doable. Satisfying. Challenging. Surprising. Encouraging. All words that describe this creative match. ⠀⠀ Do you watercolor in your Pocket Journal? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Join @sandikeene and I in one of our popular workshops - Pocket Journals and QuickStart Watercolor !

Do you ever take cues from your palette? ⠀⠀ I love the color explosion left behind after a good watercolor painting session. I always let it dry and revisit the color combinations the next time I sit down to paint. So many times I have found inspiration in these leftovers. It’s a fun way to discover “new” colors too! This one is going in my Pocket Journal for sure! Do you like to clean your palette after you paint or leave that colorful goodness for next time?

Playing with paint today even though I only have a few minutes in the studio. ⠀⠀ I’ve been so busy-with life stuff and helping to plan and launch Pocket.doc and about a half dozen other big things-that I was suddenly hit with the notion that I hadn’t painted in days. I didn’t like that idea very much so I decided to do something about it. ⠀⠀ I don’t let the clock scare me. I have big deadlines right now but that doesn’t mean I can’t be creative. In fact, it means I need to be more creative. Making things keeps me feeling inspired and refreshed and joyful in what I am doing. ⠀⠀ So I grabbed my favorite @mijellomission palette, a trusty old brush, and a scrap of paper and I sat down to paint. ⠀⠀ I knew before I began that I had exactly 12 minutes before I had to get started on the next item on my to-do list, but it was enough. Enough to splash some paint on the paper and more than enough to get me feeling creative and happy about art-even the long to-do lists that are part of my job. ⠀⠀ No matter what I’m working on- a painting, my Pocket.doc, or in my sweet Pocket Journal- I only need a few minutes to feel like I’ve accomplished something. Because I have- and all it took was 12 joy filled minutes doing something that I love. ⠀⠀ Find all the joy filled art links in my bio. ⠀⠀ #pocketjournals&watercolorforever #twotakes #pocketjournals #LetsPracticeTogether #PaintPracticeRepeat #PopUpArtClasses #LooseWatercolorFlorals #MixedMediaWatercolor #RaeMissigman #watercolormyway #exploringwatercolor #watercolorartist #Quickstartwatercolor #pocketdoc #pocketdocer #pocketdocmylife #pocketdoccommunity #pocketdocmania #iamapocketdocer #workinginmypocketdoc #sandikeene #raemissigman was pocketjournal #pocketjournalpluspocketdoc #documentyourlife #postyourart #artjournaling #artworkshop #tellingmystory #visualstorytelling #storytelling https://www.instagram.com/p/B70t_81JgUY/?igshid=1ectm2azfd9sj

Early morning in the studio is my favorite time to create. I love the quiet of the hour, the perfect light, and that sweet slowness that comes with the start of my day. ⠀⠀ I love sitting down on my stool in those moments knowing I can paint anything. No looming calendar or deadlines- just me and on my stool with my paintbrush. ⠀⠀ Do you have a time of day when you feel most creative? ⠀⠀ Join @sandikeene and I in our newest workshop - QuickStart Watercolor - where we share all of our favorite tips, tricks, and more!
