My first two weeks

Image
I've been making progress.  Some are better than others, some were easier than others.  Its been challenging but fun.  My goal is to complete a project everyday in October for #inktober2018.  Then I will relax a bit and do some other projects that really interest me; not just on a prompt.  My friend and teacher Lori is wonderfully encouraging.

Days 1 and 2

So here is day 1 and 2 of the Inktober challenge.  The first prompt was "poisonous" and I drew a lionfish.  The second was "tranquil", and I did a monarch butterfly.  I used mostly watercolors (Angora) plus some ink pens; mostly sharpies.

The Beginning

I've been wanting to take art/painting lessons for a very long time.  I have gone to Painting with a Twist a few times, and I have been watching lots of youtube videos, but it wasn't enough.  Now I have a wonderful teacher.  I also have time, since I am no longer working full time.  I'm diving in with both feet, starting out with Inktober2018.  I intend to draw and "publish" something every day.  I am hoping to see progress in my work.  If you are following my journey, I hope it gives you inspiration to follow your own dreams and ambitions. Here we go!
