The green and blue piece above is one I did with a fairly thick application of acrylic in my journal. Even when I start without a plan, or the intention to simply create an abstract exploration of color and transitions, I end up with nature-inspired pieces. It&#8217;s just what lives inside me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_3325.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_3325-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3325\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watercolor:\u00a0<\/strong>I love watercolors for their flow. The relative difficulty of the medium often gives me unexpected and beautiful effects. I have always enjoyed the variety of lines I can produce with a bamboo watercolor brush, <a title=\"Bamboo brush\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dickblick.com\/products\/winsor-and-newton-bamboo-brush-series-150\/\">like this one.<\/a> And sometimes playing with the flow of watercolor and the boundary that you can create with lines of a Sharpie or pencil is fun. It&#8217;s a nice metaphor too, isn&#8217;t it? Where do you need to learn to open up and flow versus creating a hard-line boundary in your life?\u00a0We will look at using watercolor in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/art-journaling-101-early-registration\/ \u200e\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/art-journaling-101-early-registration\/ \u200e\">Art Journaling 101<\/a>\u00a0in September.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Sun-at-Night-Image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-985\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Sun-at-Night-Image-185x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sun-at-Night-Image\" width=\"185\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0Here I have saved the best for last. Oils were my first serious foray into painting, and they remain my favorite medium. While setup and cleanup are certainly more onerous, the rich, heady, experience of oils has always been worth a little extra time. Unlike acrylics, you can lay down color, and then lay in a second and push and pull them together to get new and varied surfaces, sometimes for hours. The pigments are rich and intense. Embarking on an oil painting requires a commitment. You\u00a0give yourself over to the piece, and I love this experience of abandon and letting go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2033.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-97\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/IMG_2033-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2033\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p>While I sometimes enjoy the silence and hearing only the movement of my brush on the canvas and the palette, frequently I find music helps set the mood and keep me &#8220;in the zone&#8221; for creating.<\/p>\n<p>During college I discovered so much wonderful Latin American and Spanish music during my adventures and travels.
