Behind the Pencil
Welcome to my artist journal where I document and share my creative life and passions
Palette Check Up: Is the New System Working?
A few months ago I changed my watercolour palette set up to see if it would help my painting process and creativity. Now that I have experience using the new palette system in practice, do I think its working for me?
Learning to Create Comics
An art journal entry about how I have been practicing comics using tips and exercises picked up from comic authors and courses.
Fear in Art Tells You Where to Go Next
How I identify and use my fears in art to figure out what to create and study next. Art fears often are the origin of “art block”, an umbrella term encompassing many causes and types of creative blockages and things that cause an artist to not create the pictures they want to make. By recognising fear as a helpful tool in my creative journey I can use it to identify areas that may become potential blocks towards what I want to create, and instead formulate a plan to pursue art in that direction.
