I love to take color cues from my surroundings. It’s like a little kickstart when I’m painting, that’s why I like to surround myself with colorful objects in the studio. Right now, my favorites seem to be all the different natural reds and browns. Burnt Sienna, Light, Red, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, Red Brown, Sepia. What colors are you exploring right now? #artstudio #artstudio_post #colorpalettes #studio #studioview #artstudios #raeinthestudio #watercolorpalette #paintwater #studioplants #studioorganization #rainboworder #hiddenrainbow #vintagebox #studiotable #arttable #viewfromwhereistand #mixedmediaartist #watercolor #watercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcygglL7Pb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Surrounding myself with found trinkets makes me feel happy when I am in the studio. Gathered and collected. Curated simply for the joy they bring to me. Stones, seeds, and shells. Vintage jars and bits of paper. Each little token carries a memory with it that I can’t help but recall each time I sit down to create. #raemissigman #watercolorbotanical #watercolorrainbows #watercolor #watercolorart #artjournaling #artjournal #watercolorjournal #Anthropologie #watercolorartistmagazine #raeinthestudio #arte #watercolour #watercolorflowers #watercolorbotanicals #penandink #watercolorandpen #watercolorandink #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolorartistsofinstagram #watercolorartist #workingmom #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKKPaCLChR/?utm_medium=tumblr

A favorite studio view. What looks like a beautiful little bird nest is actually a coveted plant of mine, a Rose of Jericho, an ancient plant that can lay dormant for many years at a time and be resurrected with water. They are often passed down for generations and are quite beautiful and interesting to study when fully hydrated and green. Mine is dormant at present and yet I love her curled, nest like qualities so much. It’s another side of her that’s equally interesting to study. Do you have a favorite plant that keeps you company in your studio space? I’d love to hear more. Tap the link in my profile and be welcomed into a world of inspiration.

I love when the mood strikes and I’m in a groove and suddenly I realize I’ve painted several similar pieces. A series of sorts. I usually end up loving these little paintings because they were almost always created with no end result in mind. That means no stress, no pressure, just painting. On another note, if you are here and reading this thank you. @instagram has up and changed their algorithm on us again and because I don’t do a lot of video here, my posts are not getting shared with my audience the same way as they have in the past. You can let @instagram know you want to see more of my posts again by liking and or commenting on posts. And as always, Happy creating!

Watercolor bouquets.

There is something curious about painting and sketching over the top of old book print pages. I love when the pages are printed in a foreign language like the ones shown here. It adds a thrilling amount of mystery to the art and story of the page. I continue to pull color palettes from my surroundings as I explore even more remembered botanicals in one of my hand made journals. This daily art exercise is proving to be both therapeutic and inspiring.

When you work as an artist it’s difficult to make time for hobby art. Then there are the days when you finally get the time to create just for hobby sake and it’s difficult to find the energy or the drive to make art at all. But it’s important to push through and create because it’s one of the things that makes us happy at our core. I work as an artist. I actually use the money I earn to pay bills and send my kids to college so it is important that I don’t lose focus or the will to create, but that means staying constantly inspired, creative and vigilant. Yes vigilant. Hyper aware of what is trending, how my work is being used outside of the classroom, and what I can do to keep my students feeling successful in what they learn. It’s hard. It’s every bit a real job. Tack on that you work from home, have a really big family and have all the usual chores and household to do items that every other mom has on her checklist. It’s hard to keep up, stay positive and turn a blind eye to the unkindnesses that can surface from time to time. But you know what? It’s also worth it. It’s worth seeing your students succeed, it’s worth reading how your art cheered someone on a day they needed it most, it’s worth it when something goes better than planned, and it’s worth it when you finally get a day to make art just for the sake of making art. If you know a working artist show them some extra love today! Many of them are also working to pay the bills. Many of them are moms, wives, caretakers, cooks, doers of laundry, lunch packers, homework checkers, babysitters and more. Cheers (and hugs) to all of my fellow working artists! #raemissigman #watercolorbotanical #watercolorrainbows #workingartist #watercolorworkshop #watercolorflowers #workingartistssupportingworkingartists #artistsoninstagram #artjournaling #15minutesofartjoy #artexperiments #Anthropologie #exploringmyarttools #raeinthestudio #workingartists #workingfromhome #creativecommunity #watercolorbotanicals #communityovercompetition #creativemind #artjournal #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolor #watercolorartist #workingmom #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolors #watercolorpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/COxcPL1J37D/?igshid=13j3p9c74vwg0

Some days I just have to let the stencils choose what creative path I head down. These are just a few of the Stencils from my collections with @stencilgirl_products . All stencils linked in profile. If you’d like to learn more about putting your stencils to work for you in your art Stencil Magic is a great place to start. It’s a class where you will explore Stencils in so many ways and learn to work with both acrylic and watercolor when using them in your art work. Give the sneak peek video a watch! Link in bio - look for Stencil Magic. I co-teach this workshop with @sandikeene and it’s packed with content and dreamy ideas ! ⁣ #raemissigman #watercolorclasses #watercolorworkshop #artmarks #watercolorflowers #quickstartwatercolor #creativekickstartersilove #15minutesofartjoy #artexperiments #Anthropologie #exploringmyarttools #raeinthestudio #makerofartmarks #creativecommunity #moodforfloral #floraldesign #artsketch #creativemind #ig_color #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolorflowers #watercolor #watercolorartist #watercolorforbeginner https://www.instagram.com/p/CQD3zs8Jv5n/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the days I can’t make time to create, the days when life gets in the way, I like to take a few moments to sift through finished art or journals. This exercise allows me to feel connected to my artistic side even when I don’t have a brush in my hand. What do you do to stay connected to your creative self on the days you aren’t making art? #raemissigman #watercolorbotanical #watercolorrainbows #watercolor #watercolorart #artjournaling #artjournal #watercolorjournal #Anthropologie #watercolorartistmagazine #raeinthestudio #arte #watercolour #watercolorflowers #watercolorbotanicals #penandink #watercolorandpencil #watercolorandink #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolorartistsofinstagram #watercolorartist #watercolorandpen #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVO5rzrK4X/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love the unexpected magic that appears when working with watercolor. Most of my favorite discoveries happen when painting wet on wet. Yes, it can get messy, muddy even, but when you stumble upon something magical-like a moody shadow purple dropped into a salty green gold-it’s worth the occasional fail. Swipe to see a peek of the process. What’s your go to experiment when creating?

To be honest I think I could paint stems all day every day. Green for sure, but then I want pink stems and purple stems and gold stems to. So yep. All the stems. And leaves. And fronds. 🍃 To find more color inspiration tap the link in my profile. #colorlogue #watercolorbotanical #watercolorflorals #workingartist #watercolorsketch #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting #artjournaling #artjournaling #artexperiments #anthropologie #exploringmyarttools #raeinthestudio #raemissigman #watercolordrawing #colormixing #watercolorbotanicals #watercolour #colorswatch #artjournal #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolor #watercolorarts #watercolors #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #artjournal #watercolorpainting @stampington https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDJUPtrTvF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am a mixer of colors. One day that might mean creating a new range of greens and another it might simply be experimenting with the raw colors on my palette. My latest favorite combinations include pink and sepia and varying shades of ochre and light red. Learn about the role color plays in art and in life in our workshop Colorlogue-Demystifying Color Mixing. I co-teach with @sandikeene and it’s a game changer when it comes to mixing color. Plus it’s an important and useful tool that you will come back to again and again.

I am in love with the illusion of texture on these pages. It’s all smoke and mirrors thanks to the many lines of pen work and the angle of the photo. Art is so magical. You think you know something, see something, and then you view it from a different perspective and everything changes. Pure magic.

Experimenting with the three primary colors that I so carefully avoid every day. Pushing myself and learning things- like how I love the bright red watered down to a soft pink and how permanent yellow seems garish to me but I adore ochre and how cobalt blue is much prettier with deep shadow violet dropped in as an afterthought. Mixing primary colors makes me happy. Using them as simple red, yellow, blue- not so much. It seems like it would be simpler but for me it is not. Mixing color is my true love. Having this new @mijello_mission palette to play with is helping. The “bright red” is not only a new color for me but it leans slightly toward neon which is kinda fun! Always experimenting. Forever learning. Colorlogue is a class where we truly dig into color. Learn how what we surround ourself reflects our choices and how to truly research what color can do for you in a fun and interactive way. The class is huge with a 100+ page printable workbook. Be sure to tap on the link in my bio, look for Colorlogue and watch the sneak peek video.

I did a little more experimenting with my new @mijello_mission Hybrid Watercolor. It is somewhere between a traditional watercolor and a gouache. So far the intensity of color has me hooked. It is not chalky at all which I also love. I think my favorite part about this paint so far though is that I can build color easily. It’s super yummy. My friend Sandi and I are giving them a try simultaneously so I am curious to hear what she is thinking as well. Lots more experimenting to do over here! Tag, you’re it @sandikeene 🎨👩‍🎨😂 What’s your favorite art tool right now? #raemissigman #watercolorbotanical #watercolorflower #watercolor #watercolorsketch #artjournaling #artjournal #watercolorjournal #Anthropologie #watercolorartistmagazine #raeinthestudio #arte #watercolour #watercolorflowers #watercolorbotanicals #artjournaleveryday #watercolorandpen #watercolorandink #colorcrush #watercolormyway #watercolorartistsofinstagram #watercolorartist #watercolorflorals #watercolorart #watercolorillustration #watercolordaily #watercolorpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXXpZVLgtu/?utm_medium=tumblr
