Artsy Adventures

artsy-adventures

Lately I’ve gotten that itch I think a lot of artists get, to try something new. 

I used to paint with acrylics a lot but trying to keep brushes and paint, as well as the resulting mess, out of the hands of little ones put that aside. As much as I like designing digitally (and I do!) I’m a traditional artist at heart! I love my markers but I want to mix it up more.

I want to mix my mediums and see what happens.

I’ve gotten myself some liquid watercolors and watercolor paper. I have 2 new-to-me brands of markers to play with. I’ve had pencils that need to be played with.

My hubs, Mr. Some Odd Girl, has put forth a monthly art challenge between us (he wants to make it a competition, I just want to have a fun challenge… men) so I’m taking that opportunity to break out a bit and scratch the itch. I’m going to be sharing some of this on Fridays so I hope you don’t mind my Artsy Adventures.

    Fun! I’m starting to mix it up a little more at the moment too, trying to force myself out of my marker comfort zone. 🙂
    Look forward to seeing Mr Some Odd Girl’s blog!

    Can’t wait to see everything! I too love to use different mediums but my issue isn’t keeping little ones out of my creativity mess, it’s keeping my 2 cats out of it, lol! I am excited to see how your competition between you and Mr. Some Odd Girl pan out 😉
