are harder than others.

27. True, in general. And being an artist myself that's certainly true at times for art making.

I mostly draw with fine line Sakura markers, believe it or not plain ole black Bic ballpoint biro pens (but not in the biro style), and want to get back to some heavy pressed colored pencils on Canson colored paper. And also black colored pencil on vellum.

Also want to paint in acrylics again. I might try water colors again at some point.

Have been using a wonderful digital art app called "infinite painter" that mimics many art materials the past ?3 years now.

29. How wonderful!

Look forward to you sharing something.
Painting is my peaceful time where I concentrate on doing something I love and learning.

Sending cards and making people smile.
Out world is just so mean and hateful that I like making someone pause and remember the small things that bring us joy.

I play music while I paint and it's so cathartic to turn off the worry if even for a bit.

Hugs

40. Ty At some point I'll share a couple of different things...

Been doing this since I was a kid. Most kids do, but most stop after a time.

Other than frustration at tines (I can't get it "just right", though I usually keep improving) it brings me a lot of joy, sometimes the fun of a creative challenge, too.

You have a nice command of water colors.👍

I often will have music on too.

22. Thank you so much Niyad

If in these
catastrophic times
you worry that there is
nothing
nothing you can do,
remember:
that in these
catastrophic times
refusing to become numb
counts as something.

I'm trying. Thank goodness for painting in this later stage of my life and for all the wonderful people in D.U.
