You know that moment when someone or something has inspired you and you take a leap of faith and give it a try? THIS is that moment! I just completed an online course on @domestika taught by @lauramckendry_art which was the most incredibly awakening and gloriously wonderful course I have taken to date! It spoke to me like no other has and I wanted to share with you all my first pieces I made high on artistic inspiration and exploration! The course is called Illustrating Nature: A Creative Exploration. I chose eucalyptus leaves as my subject to explore since I am teaching my own online class on the same subject this Friday and wanted to practice what I learned in the course. The first image is made with black Quink ink with bleach dropped into it then I use some pine needles dipped in magenta drawing ink to make the “flowers”. I then added lines with water soluble wax pastels. The black drawing are made with bleach and eucalyptus leaf prints which I pressed onto the paper and then used a seed pod to make circular shapes. The next couple of drawings on white paper was more explorations with a toothbrush splatter effect made from a stencil I made out of the shape of the eucalyptus leaves. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to include my IG family with my excitement! 😋🥳🌷🍃 . . . #domestika #artistsoninstagram #mixedmediaartist #abstractart #eucalyptus #eucalyptusleaves #artexploration #illustratorsofig #illustratingnature2020 #jenniferlindermanart #followlove #quinkink #bleachart #paintstick #waxpastel #indiainkart #stencilart #naturestamp #coloredpencil #morethanonewaytoskinacat https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwp6JsBjk0/?igshid=bgom1f1itnew
