Before My Coffee Gets Cold

Today marks my first blog entry. I can't contain my excitement to share my thoughts and if my interest in art could connect to those aspiring self-taught artists like me. My favorite medium is watercolor and gouache. Nowadays, I spend my time searching for an artist that I could mirror and take inspiration from.
When I saw Ms. Ekaterina Pytina's paintings, I was in awe.
The feelings it evokes in viewers are mystifying.

  

The soft mellow of the afternoon added to the feelings of the colors I saw and with thy silent thoughts of this poem.

Thy Silent Thoughts

Thy Silent Thoughts

So beautiful are thy silent thoughts
I would watch thine eyes all day.
There is wonder in them, as the sun's first flash
Through tumult of ocean spray;
In them the shining calm of upland pools
Mirrors the glory round,
And their shadows are the shadows of sweet flowers
Upon the summer ground.
So beautiful are thy silent thoughts
I would watch thine eyes all day;
More beauteous in their silence than the stars,
Than the silent stars, are they.

R. J. Lindley,
November 9th, 1973

Youtube Painting Tutorials

To all the artists who share their passion through youtube painting tutorials… I sincerely appreciate what you are doing and I can’t thank you enough for helping us “newborn” or aspiring artist. It is such a great way for us to learn. I had watched Ekatyrina Pytina’s tutorial this week. I took a screenshots of it in order to have a guide once I will start working on following her tutorial and if it will help you too. Below are my screenshots but you can also go to her YouTube page for real time videos.

Origami Dust Bin Monday

Monday. We have our own ways of starting our day, but my morning usually starts with devotion while listening to a peaceful music playlist.  I’ve just started to get back on track with calligraphy, learning the fundamentals — basic strokes. I took a pause to take a break and enjoyed making an origami dustbin. I’ve added a few stickers on it and a flower origami. I've had so much joy while making these, it brought me back to my childhood when I ripped a page of my notebook and folded it to make a dustbin.
