Day 29 - #messysketchbook - Beginning stages of my interpretation of a David Hockney painting. I'm using oil pastels in my messy sketchbook, this one is going to take a lot of layers! #sarahhodzicartpractice #makemoreart #davidhockney (at Falls Church, Virginia)

For better or worse, this is today's completed #collage. Worked through a very frustrating block, let myself walk away and reset.... the process is so hard not to wrestle with sometimes. #makemoreart (at Falls Church, Virginia)

Day 29 - getting back to my roots. . I have fallen off the wagon with art making - hard this time. I'm not quite sure why I've still decided to give each project a numbered day, but hey, I'm gonna stick with it for now. . Picking up where I left off, I decided to get back to doing something I was naturally drawn to as a child - collage. I opened up my #messysketchbook - a la @lisacongdon and went to town with paper, images, scissors and glue. I am trying very hard not to be precious and just get my hands moving again and making art. It's been a struggle for me this last month, I'm not 100% sure why or when the making tapered off, but it did. . So here I go again... #sarahhodzicartpractice (at Falls Church, Virginia)

I have fallen off the art making wagon once again, but slowly finding my way back by reacquainting myself with the basics. #colorswatches #watercolorvalue #hue #saturation #rainbow #sarahhodzicartpractice (at Deep Creek Lake State Park)

Day 28 - Posca paint markers and watercolor in sketchbook. It's been a few days, but I had the art making itch, so I scratched out this little abstract (work in progress). #sarahhodzicartpractice #poscapen #watercolorabstract (at Falls Church, Virginia)

Day 27 - 8x10 #posca paint pens on canvas paper. This is a anybody's guess. ☺️ #sarahhodzicartpractice #abstractartist

Day 26 - 8x10 #posca paint pens on canvas paper. Moving in a slightly different direction today. Needed to free up my hand and mind and just doodle away. #sarahhodzicartpractice #abstractartist

Sketching life around me sometimes means a quick rendering of a deeeeeeelicious meal. If you ever need a quick Poké fix, you can't beat @pokepapadc - we stuffed ourselves silly! #poké #pokepappa #freshfish

Day 24 - Felt tip and Sharpie pen and ink gestural sketch. I was desperate to get in some drawing time, and had a short window, so a quick study it was! It felt good to make quick lines and let loose. #sarahhodzicartpractice #quicksketch #yearofcreativehabits

Day 23 - quick marker sketch in my watercolor #moleskinesketchbook. I had grand plans of sitting at #huntleymeadowspark and taking down wetland scenes with my watercolors, I was all set, had all my supplies, oh no wait...forgot my watercolors. #pleinairfail 😂 (at Huntley Meadows Park)

Day 22 - watercolor in #moleskinesketchbook - Floral watercolor version 1. I learned a lot through this process and decided that I needed to write down my thoughts. I experienced a fair amount of hesitation while painting version 1 --which I feel is very apparent. But I also enjoyed this process throughly! Looking forward to trying my hand at version 2.0 today. #sarahhodzicartpractice #yearofcreativehabits @kristythepainter @becraftsy (at Falls Church, Virginia)

Day 21 - watercolor in sketchbook. More practice with guidance from @becraftsy. Today, free form peonies. #yearofcreativehabits #sarahhodzicartpractice #watercolorflorals #workinprogress
