Friday Artful Adventures & Creations

 

Happy Friday!

This week was an okay week but I am lacking energy and motivation.

When do you start decorating for Christmas? I think I am going to start decorating this weekend.

I need some lights and Christmas decor to get me uplifted.

⭐️ 

This week I did create a little artwork and I managed to put together the last Vlog for October.

Have a look if you like.

This was done on Thursday November 6th on Pastel Paper,

I used my phone to work on a self portrait for Nicole's Challenge. 

 Friday Face Off

I am going to keep working on my self portrait with a variety of mediums to explore and learn more. 

I used chalk pastels. I feel I need a lot of practice with measurements and proportions. 

I do have a book that I am going to look over and It has technical lines and measurements that I can learn from.  

oh the messy lines lol

oh the ears lol oh my goodness 

a mess but this is good practice

I kindly won gouache paints from this brand on Instagram.

I am truly grateful.

A video of the swatches.

Painting with the gouache paints and testing them out.

I notice gouache paints dry flat.

I need to work with them more.

This week I also created an illustration. 

I used pencil crayons, crayons, water, markers, pencil and fineliner pen.

In Other News

I kindly won a fragrance from Dave Lackie on Twitter. 

He is so amazing.

 It also came with a clinique headband. 

Perfect to hold my hair back when I do my skincare.

He is an incredible friend. 

I love this fragrance. Clinique Happy. So fresh and revitalizing fragrance. 

Thank you so much Dave!

Lately I am not pleased with my artwork but I feel it's okay to feel this way and I must stay creative.

I have a feeling that I am very emotional due to my menopause. It's making me so emotional. lol
