August Tree Art, Day 1: Here is my first tree artwork for the month. I’m sketching out the composition for a possible tree painting. I’m trying to get better at doing black and white sketches before I paint to get the light and shadows better. This is a birch tree I see on my daily walks. Get out there and look at the trees. Enjoy! . . . . #smjtreeart #treesketches #treesketching #sarahmjohnsonart #treeartists #sketchbooksunday #landscapesketches #compositionsketch #treeart #landscapesketching #landscapesketchbook #sarahmjohnson (at My Home) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCMGtZLhjU/?utm_medium=tumblr

This coming August, I will be focusing a series of art based on trees. This will be a series of paintings, sketches, watercolors, oils, ink drawings etc. I will be posting them with the hashtag #smjtreeart if you want to follow the series. I look forward to creating and growing in my skill of creating art of trees. And I look forward to showing you all. . . . #treeart #treeartist #sarahmjohnsonart #treephotos #artoftrees #treeartists #sarahmjohnson #amazingtrees #inspiredbytrees (at Elmhurst, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6oji1rIok/?utm_medium=tumblr

Since I have a regular part time job now I have been busy working and adjusting. So my post maybe early morning sometimes because I start work at 6:30 am. . I have had some art camps I taught with @michaelsymberstudios and a teaching collaboration with the Elmhurst Public Library ( @askelmhurst )doing an art workshop for the kids summer reading program. I also have had my Frida painting in the Elmhurst Artist Guild and got an Honorable Mention. And I have a few commissions I am finishing up. So I have been busy art biz wise. . I was also on vacation in Tennessee in the smoky mountains. I miss the view, which I painted this morning. Hope to post more. Hope all are well! . . . . #misstheview #smokymountainart #sarahmjohnsonart #mountainsketch #watercolormountain #landscapesketching #busyartist #walktosee #artistprocess #sketchbook #watercolorartist #landscapepainting #landscapeartists #sarahmjohnson (at Elmhurst, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRoCRIrruZK/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m on vacation at the moment, but it won’t keep me from making art. I’m in the Tennessee, Smoky Mountains. I’m going to use this time to journal, sketch, and figure out what’s next in my art career, as well as get great inspiration. . . #walktosee #smokymountainstennessee #travelingartists #sarahmjohnsonart #mountainartwork #travelartjournal #smokymountainart #sarahmjohnson (at The Great Smokies, Wears Valley, TN) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMJF17rltN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here I am starting a big project for a juried art exhibition. I have not been doing my own art lately, because I have been really busy this end of the school year, with physical therapy, kids end of school stuff, teaching, home stuff and my own projects. I hope to post more of my work come summer. Hope you all are well and safe. Can’t wait to share some projects I’m working on! #artistatworkhere #sarahmjohnsonart #sarahmjohnson #womanartists #chicagolandartist #femaleartists #artistofinstagram #artistatwork🎨 (at Elmhurst, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQzc7inQz2/?utm_medium=tumblr
