Did some gouache floral practice on stream. It's my first time really working with it, and I'm rather proud. Just diving in helped me get over a mental hurdle I had around painting. I also have a better idea on how to approach learning. I'm excited to start this journey!

Thanks to the clay hand building book I was reading on stream this week, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I started putting together this bird on stream today. 🐦
The form of a bird hand-built from brown clay. The form consists of the body, head, beak, and wings.

We started a new art journey on stream today! I want to do botanical work with my ceramics in the future. Step 1) learn to draw plants. 🪴

And then we sent some love to @strixxline.com 🧡
