More Spring than Autumn but I liked the fresh colours and contrast. Made using Procreate by swirling and manipulating a photo of one of my paper artworks. Really restoring to make.

“Steady” original, watercolour & ink

Multi-tasking is not my thing, multi-media and making multiple images from one bit of my art work is very enjoyable though.

Doodling can be intricate & detailed, free, lighthearted, representational or abstract. Keeping pens & card close is how I access creative self-care. It matters less what’s drawn, more that hand, heart & mind connect in ways that feel good in the moment.

Sparkling fish swim in a turquoise and blue sea with sandy beach

Some sparkling fish, always find making watery pictures extra calming to create.😊🐟🌊🩵

Making a little space for creativity…

Yesterday I spent an hour or so painting this little creature. They sit on my table & their expression always makes me smile
Painting with bright colours also gives me a boost, (the paint sparkles but it’s a bit hard to spot in the photo)✨
What’s made you smile lately? 🥰

“What Flow Looks Like”

Just messing in Procreate using a photo of some neurographic art I made today. Finding smooshing virtual paint is very soothing…

Extreme close up photo of sparkly nail varnish in bright sun looked like glowing blooms to me so I added a bit of foliage.

Create stuff is often hidden in the everyday stuff for me.

Enjoyed painting this racoon in acrylics then adding extra whiskers and fur texture with black micron and white gel pens.

“Orca” original multimedia painting in acrylics. I photographed my painting then worked on it further digitally using Apple Pencil in Procreate on IPad.

Tiny everyday things can bring lots of “wow” moments.
I spotted this caterpillar in my garden & painted it after taking a photo as I think it’s beautiful in its own way.
It may turn into a moth but I’m not sure what sort, any ideas?
Thanks @hellobadibidu.bsky.social for a great online art hour.

Making landscapes using photos I take of nature.
Brings up some unusual, vibrant colour combinations I wouldn’t have tried without seeing them out there in nature.

(1st pic is made using the 2nd one, really enjoyable to do & helped me spend some quiet focus time to recharge)

Used this physical artwork to make the virtual one with the faces that I just posted by moving the paint around onscreen, picking out shapes, shrinking bits, pushing, pulling adding and drawing over the top. I love my bright new pens and how they look on black card, real mood boost colours!

Been swirling some photos of my artwork and adding details like the faces. Original image was a rainbow spiral. Enjoying making something completely new from existing work, great for shifting my perspective!

Thank you for reposting I appreciate it 🥰

I’m realising making things has always been a way I’ve practiced creative self-care, even before I knew this was why I was doing it. This is a digital acrylic pour I made using Procreate on my iPad.
I feel so grateful I now have more time & agency to be able to prioritise creativity.

Been making miniature paintings using white acrylic, black micron & white gel pen on black card, just for fun.
These are coaster sized and were really enjoyable to create.

Digital acrylic pours, both made from the same initial artwork. I pulled and pushed the digital paint, enlarging some ares and shrinking others before adding details to change how each picture looked.
#digitalartwork #creativeselfcare

I made several virtual acrylic pours, each focusing on a different area. Rotating the picture brought new perspectives. This one looked watery so I added a boat. It was absorbing & reminded me things look different viewed from new angles.
