Mixed Media Lilacs Blooming In My Sketchbook!
Lilacs are blooming in my sketchbook, because in general I’ve been trying to fill the pages, and now, with my new instagram account, right here, (please follow me!) I’ve decided to do a few February challenges to help me create content and get my account noticed, hopefully. It has been a while since I’ve painted flowers, so the #28FebruaryFlowers challenge is going to be well, quite honestly, a challenge! If I miss a day, or need to do something really simple I will give myself a break, as I’m also hoping to participate in #28FeatheredFriends, which is yes, a bird challenge! So, over the next month, in addition to Purim…

Folk Art Trees In Bloom Doodle Painting
Looking for a fun tree doodle, that is simple with great results, and that you could even use as a Tu B’Shevat craft? These folk art doodle trees are sweet as can be, and look great as is, on paper, but one could also draw them on cereal box cardboard and use them for a garland or napkin rings, or how about a grove of stand up folk art doodle trees? This was a first for me, and I have to admit, the last time I tried to doodle trees in my sketchbook, sometime last May, I failed completely, but I just had to get back up on the horse,…

Simple Doodle Trees Painting For Tu B’Shevat
Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish New Year for fruit bearing trees is this coming Wednesday night, so now is the time to make some simple tree-themed crafts to fill your home with joy! We are fortunate to live in Israel where we witness the blooming of the very first fruit tree, the almond tree, right around the holiday, so the holiday is especially anticipated. This first sign of spring in the dead of winter is something very special. and certainly brings great joy to those of us who are paying attention. Of course school children celebrate this event and there is a song in hebrew about the blooming of the almond…

Painting Clouds On An Orange Background
With the next Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat not for another 27 days, I am trying to spend as much time as possible painting, either in my sketchbook, or not. This week I got back into exploring how to paint clouds, an idea I had started working on a whole year ago, but just didn’t get back to it. And then I painted some llamas with tiny cranes flying overhead, and then I painted some cranes, and then I realized that painting clouds was the natural thing to paint next! So, I painted one spread of clouds that isn’t all that great, and then I painted this spread, which I…

A Peek In My Sketchbook: Mixed Media Migrating Cranes Painting
One thing I can happily say about 2020 is that I was able to stick to my plan of making a “sketchbook practice” part of my creative life! What can I tell you dear readers? While I was once very afraid and sceptical about sketchbooks, I am so very happy that I stuck with it, as today I am a staunch supporter! Sketchbooks or art journals, however you choose to call them, can truly be an amazing place to create, as without pressure to display your work, and without having to worry about what you’ll do with the results, you are FREE to just explore. And at the same time…
