February 20th 2020: Draw/Paint

I've used art as a form of therapy for years. I let all my bottled up emotions escape through my hand. It's a way to say everything without actually saying anything. Which is my kind of communication. Just kidding... Communication is vital for every healthy relationship.

Anyways, this month I really wanted to make more time to be creative- crafting included but I wanted to really spend some time on drawing or painting. I used to draw every single day, now I literally have to schedule it in. I plan to create more time to work on my art skills though, because like I said before, it really gets my zen going.

This first one I was familiarizing myself with this canvas paper- playing with watercolors, colored pencils, and acrylics. I had a specific story I was trying to tell through this piece, but I won't elaborate. I feel like that's the beauty of art- all the various versions of perspectives.

This next one was based off a picture I saw while browsing pinterest. I really like drawing women, which is why most of my art features them. I zoned out pretty good on her hair, I originally was going to make it realistic but liked the contrast between the shading and the lines.
