While going through my YouTube video library, I realized I have a few art journaling technique videos that I had uploaded some time back but forgot to share – silly me! One of them was this cool experiment I did sometime last year, I think. I created two art journal pages at the same time, using the same color palette, supplies, and techniques, and ended up with two very different finished art journal pages.

I broke the video down into two, so you aren’t sitting here for ages watching me paint in my art journal! Bookmark this page so you can watch a video, take a break, and come back and watch the next. Or binge watch them one after the other!

At the very last minute, I’ve decided to jump into the 100 day project again this year! {Wondering what that is? Check out this post on the 100 day project and how it can help you kick-start your creativity.}

I envision this as another working project, which means that I am not necessarily looking at 100 completed pieces of anything. But I am committing to 100 days of creative explorations – in whatever form it may show up.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’d know that I’m a moon baby. I tune in to the cycles of the moon to do some journaling and throw down some tarot or oracle cards. I also use the moon phases to create some art. Specifically, I create art on each new and full moon.

This is a practice I started way back in 2015, based on a (then) free ecourse offered by Effy Wild.Continue reading→

Unlike in previous years, where I tried and often failed to stick to a formal art practice {like aiming for a finished piece of art each day or trying for a set number of pieces each year}, this year I decided to let my art practice be organic.

What the past few years taught me is that art – and indeed creativity – is cyclical. There are months when I am much more prolific than others. There are times when I get obsessed with a certain style or a particular art supply. And there are times when I don’t pick up the brush as often, and that’s ok!Continue reading→

The Art Bundle for Good #4 is now on sale! And I’m SO excited to be contributing to this bundle, alongside some of the stalwarts from the world of mixed media arts. I’ve purchased ecourses from a lot of these folks in years past, and have learnt SO MUCH from each of them!

This is an amazing opportunity to get 98 art courses worth a whooping $4,000 at one low price of $97. If you do the math, it works out to less than $1 per ecourse, and you’ve got to admit that’s an absolute steal {even when you convert it to the Indian rupee}!

Resources run the gamut from painting, watercolour, calligraphy, and drawing, to mixed media arts, creativity, and more.Continue reading→

I’ve spent most of October busy either painting or writing furiously in my journal. There have been a lot of difficult questions that I’ve been grappling with, around my art, the 9 to 5 job, about sustainability and legacies, and about what I want to create with this one beautiful precious life.

One thing that is clear to me is that my art practice is central to my well-being. In fact, I would go so far as to say that a regular creative practice is key to dealing with the stress of modern day life.Continue reading→
