I decided to treat myself to some new art supplies, and I’m so excited! There’s something magical about adding fresh supplies to your stash—it’s like opening the door to endless creative possibilities. This time, I picked up Tim Holtz postage stamp stickers and floral collage paper, Ranger Astro Paste, Neon Lunar Paste and Solar Paste plus a small pack of Ice Resin foil sheets. Each item feels like a little nudge to step outside my comfort zone and explore new techniques. The promise of fresh creativity is just too tempting to resist!

I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but the ideas are already swirling. Will the Neon Lunar Paste add a vibrant pop to my next abstract piece? How will the Ice Resin foil sheets catch the light and elevate my designs? The anticipation of experimenting with these textures and effects is almost as exciting as the process itself.

For now, I’m enjoying this moment of dreaming and planning. There’s something magical about imagining how these supplies will come to life once they meet the page. Stay tuned—I’ll be diving in soon and can’t wait to share the creative journey as it unfolds. 🎨✨

I’d love to hear from you—what are your go-to art supplies, or have you recently treated yourself to something new? Share your experiences in the comments; I’d be so inspired to hear your stories and ideas!

Thank you for stopping by and being part of this artistic adventure—it truly means the world to me! 😊

Exploring Abstract Art with Watercolor Brushes

I recently got a new set of watercolor brushes, and I couldn’t wait to try them out! I grabbed my 5.5×8.5” watercolor journal and spent a fun afternoon playing around, creating this colorful abstract. It’s amazing how different each brush feels—getting used to their bounce and how much water they hold is part of the fun.

I love experimenting in my journal, testing out new patterns and designs. Some might make their way into bigger pieces, and some are just for the joy of the process. I’m a bit obsessed with curves—you’ll often see circles, waves, and leaves pop up in my art. They remind me of the ocean and trees, two of my favorite things.

For this painting, my favorite parts are the blue leaves near the top and the dark blue waves at the bottom. There’s something calming about those patterns—I love the flow they bring to the piece. What about you? Do you have a favorite part?

I hope this little peek into my process brings a bit of inspiration to your weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing this creative moment with me!

Exploring Dark Watercolors in Abstract Art

I decided to try something a little different in my 5.5×8.5″ watercolor journal. For this practice painting, I worked mostly with darker watercolors (shown above-left) instead of my usual brighter palette (shown above-right). I love how bold it turned out and how the brighter colors really pop against the deeper tones.

What didn’t quite meet my expectations was the neon-colored paint pens I used—they didn’t stand out as much as I’d hoped. One challenge with watercolor abstracts is that the paint moves and lifts when wet, which can cause those vibrant colors to get a bit muddied.

Still, it was a great practice piece, and I enjoyed the process. That said, I definitely prefer a lighter, brighter background for my work. How about you—do you lean towards bold and dark, or light and bright?

I hope this inspires your creative muse this weekend! Thanks for stopping by!!

Diving into the Unexpected: My Underwater Abstract Adventure

I love using my watercolor journal for practice sessions whenever I’m experimenting with new techniques or exploring fresh design ideas. Today, I decided to play around in my 5.5×8.5″ journal, and what started as a bit of fun turned into an unexpected abstract piece! 🎨

At first, I wasn’t sure where the painting was going, but it soon took a surprising turn—right into an underwater world! 🌊 The result? Something totally different from what I had envisioned, but that’s what makes the creative process exciting.

There are parts of the painting that I’m really drawn to, and others not so much, but I’ll take those elements I love and carry them forward into my next artistic adventure. That’s the beauty of experimenting—it’s all about discovery!

I hope this inspires you to pick up your brushes and create something fun this weekend! Thanks for stopping by, and remember…
