Cow's Hobby Journal
Hello and welcome ✨
I don't know yet what I'm going to share. Probably I'll do some special drawings for this place. I also paint and I would have liked to share some with you, but I also shared them publicly in other places and I would not want to be potentially recognized.
I also make decors/customizations, photography, bouquets, and digital drawings :)
@butterlycow Can't wait to see, and yes I agree re the recognition factor. I try and create something just for Cups. What kind of paint do you use? any tips to share? And I have added your journal to the masterpost here
Listening - One Step At A Time!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to share, Butterly. ❤️
When you're looking at a bare canvas, where do you like to start? I'm new at this... I use to paint when I was in high school... a long, long, (really long) time ago...lol. For me, the hardest part of doing anything is just Starting... so, that's why I'm asking. I might even pick up a few colors and give it a try sometime...
That's a good question and I'm not even sure. I think you're supposed to start from the bottom and work in layers but especially before, I was absorbed by an idea and start directly by drawing the main idea without thinking. It was easy for me a few years ago, I miss it 😖 Now I'm lost too !
@butterlycow
Had some time to think about this... Maybe it would be good to just listen to what ever comes up... like you said, your main idea. But - what may happen is that you have an idea in your head to start with but when you look at the canvas, something else comes up... I think this might be a sort of 'mindfulness' approach. What do you think? 😊
I was tired of not having anything to share here so I drew a silhouette with eyes closed on blue paper and I touched it up with the free version of photoshop 💧
Here is a photo that I took and also edited.
@butterlycow
That is gorgeous!
I think I will focus on abstract, minimalism and retouched photography. Perhaps this is the opportunity to dive into a more emotional and symbolic side of creation.
I am still frustrated that I can't share my other paintings and crafts however.
@butterlycow Why can't you share your other works? Technical/upload issues?
No it's just because I don't want to be recognized ! I shared lots of my arts on my social medias + showed them to relatives
@butterlycow
I don't blame you at all. It makes sense to keep the worlds separate and to protect your identity. 😊
Hey Butter!! Nice to see you posting more!!! I've been gone visiting family but I'm back, so I will be keeping an eye on your journal. Thanks for sharing! ❤️ 😊
