planner art..... {she doodles}

when i travel it is so hard being a mixed media artist, as you can never bring enough art supplies; and then, there are the travel restrictions on what you can bring and the size....

so when i travel, i only take a few things which pushes me outside of my comfort zone and forces me to use different things to create.

the initial drawing was also drawn with my eyes closed; as long as i am pushing......may as well push a little more.....

happy monday.

travel & doodles {planner art}

flower doodles in my planner. regular black ink pen with finger-painted watercolor

this last weekend i traveled to texas. 

it was a busy weekend; but i always pack a small art travel bag to take along. 

what do i pack in this bag?

• 2017 planner- i like to write while i travel as well; nothing serious....observations while in the airport; up coming plans; brain storming ideas; anything that comes to mind
• watercolor pencils- only my favorite colors; turquoise, green, pink, orange.....
• thin markers- only one or two colors; my favorite is Jane Davenport's turquoise
• child's watercolor palette- you know the one..... yellow plastic with the clear top and only 8 color pans with the crappy brush (interesting to even try to paint with that brush)
• stabilo pencil in black
• black ink pen- any regular black ink pen will do
• pigma micron 03 black ink pen

this was the evening sky on saturday after a day of racing while we waited to see justin timberlake.....(justin timberlake....)

but back to reality- 

temps in texas- 80's

temps in minnesota- 50's with a super stiff wind; with snow threatening today

sediment details {planner art}

details of the unfiltered goodness from my planner.

why write and schedule when you can dream and draw to fill the time?

limited supplies while i was traveling and i did write about being in the airport and realizing i loved the black ink pen i had brought to use. why wasn't i using this pen more- as the pen was hidden away in a drawer.....silly me.

happy wednesday.
