Tip I learned: Use Pinterest INTENTIONALLY (don’t just scroll) and create mood boards. Determine what you love but be careful to not mix it with what you admire. Then write out WHY you like it.

Surprised to find some old drawings from 25 years ago in mother’s house just now! Totally forgot about these.

Art is in the noticing. These are raw photos of random things I notice while
I’m doing mundane things like driving or in my kitchen. And I get so excited because I see the potential to create from these random things. I can’t wait to have time again.

Just showing something I did earlier this year. Not part of the art challenge at all but it’s a busy week for me, so thought I post something else for a change 😊.

No. 7 “Cacti” - Tried something different and I like the results. Think I might do a couple more of these.

After these doing these two, I’ve decided that combining two random words into one piece is just too constricting for me. And the point was to explore and fun. So I’m going back to picking just one random card instead of two cards. #dailyartpractice #artchallenge #watercolorart #exploringart

Eh I don’t like this one at all, but I promised myself I would post. I saw something on insta posted by a very talented classical oil painter and he said originality is overrated and often comes out gimmicky. To learn true skill, it’s better to not try so hard to be original sometimes.

Joana Herrmann @joanalivingbold.bsky.social · Aug 2

Thank you. I actually really like this one too.

Joana Herrmann @joanalivingbold.bsky.social · Aug 2

Um your gorgeous and young. So stop it. Trust me I have my own insecurities.

Joana Herrmann @joanalivingbold.bsky.social · Aug 1

Thank you 😊

No. 4 of 50 completed! And so far I really like this one. Next challenge is “avacado” and “organ”.

No 3 of the Prompt Challenge.

The concept was to make a croissant made from glass on a plate made of croissant, but this just looks like a grub in a nest! At least now I know I need to take some time to learn how to draw glass.

Next Challenge: Fish and Citrus!

So did you varnish yet?

Joana Herrmann @joanalivingbold.bsky.social · Jul 30

DO IT!!! We are our worst critic. We always think someone is better or no one will like it. But art is subjective and you do it because it’s an expression of who you are even if you’re still trying to figure it out like in my case. The world needs human art. It needs your art. I am shy also btw.
