🖌 Art therapy is my own remedy

What a fine day that I woke up before my alarm clock! I did a lot of things before heading to my favorite place at home and started scribbling and sketching.

How long has it been since I sketched? Weeks? Months? I think it has been a long time before I sketched. I was too focused on using oil paint as my medium that it felt new to me doing some rendering, circling, and erasing errors.

I flipped on some health and education books and decided to sketch these boys. I basically do not have any idea who they are, but this is for the sake in attempting to get rid of the rustiness of my hands and put some oil on my gears to make it functional! Haha!

While doing my thing , I realized on great thing and that is that I do not do art anymore just because I feel depressed. I'm sketching because I feel good and so alive. To me, this is very important. Progress is important! I was even singing to some happy kpop songs.

I only have gum eraser with me so I think i need to go out to buy another. Yehey! Finally I am going out again. This is another sign of progress in getting rid of my anti-socialness.

I scanned through my previous works to check how I have changed. Well, I think nothing has changed. I was not mad of it of course. I cannot just help myself but laugh.

I love water a lot. I think it is my element since it has been my subject since I learned how to paint (at the age of three). I should have given this to a friend but I forgot. Oh well, just in case we meet again I will give this to her with a nice frame.

As you can observe, I love to scribble even though when I am using other mediums.

This was made last 2014 using acrylic paint. I always look forward to Van Gogh. I even painted my bedroom wall with a Van Gogh inspired theme. It is still a work in progress that is why I would not share it to you. I am not as great as Gogh by the way.

I am so into nature too that is why I prefer adding some elements of nature while making some artworks. Geometric patterns also interest me a lot.

Was there progress, Gail? Well, I do not think so. It is just that these are colorful because I used color pencils and water colors. Haha! I'm so silly that a gave a huge portion of my art materials to some aspiring artists that I know. Oh well, I am up to hoarding art materials again. My strokes are still the same as it has been before.

I fell so in love with prang and colleen watercolors because aside that it is cheap, the result is a vivid artwork.

Well, that is me by the way as a sign of legitimacy. I was not able to do this on my introduction post though. My bad!
