Mindful Sketchbook Practice
Floral pattern in gouache and watercolor, enhanced with pen. I did my best to be patient as the negative talk in my head was going on, especially as I was trying to remove the liquid mask from the page! It took a very long time and half an eraser. I blame it on the paper. I use a 100% cotton paper for my sketchbook and the liquid mask I had had a blue tint to it, which can be very convenient, but not for this type of exercise. I continued, worried about the messy appearance on my page once the liquid mask was gone (for the most part). I noticed how polite Ohm Mar’s self talk was during her painting session and I didn’t utter one profanity! Another thing I remembered from watching this amazing real-time video is that art takes practice. How motivating. Thank you Ohn Mar!
