I began today’s more muted entry by drawing lines with china marker and colored pencil, then incorporated watercolor layers and gouache for opacity.

I spontaneously painted this entry after spending a bit of time on the right page, the one I shared yesterday. It was a good exercise to use bigger brushes and shapes after focusing on all the small details in the other. Really I was procrastinating and not wanting to step away from my work table, and I’m glad I did.

Triangles, moons, stars, flowers, and circles; some of my favorite shapes.

Taking a break from some work and looking through entries from this time a year ago. I’m recognizing subtle tonal shifts and use of space.
