i tend to put a lot of effort in things that matte i tend to put a lot of effort in things that matter to me (drawing, my plants survival, yoga), but some times my early sketches get more reaction from people than the more finished ones - that i spent more time and effort on. there's something about capturing the spirit of the model early on that can get lost when you continue to clean up and replace lines. yet another reminder that it's not about quantity of effort, but quality. ⛅️ model: @evegamine

figure drawing sessions with costumed models give figure drawing sessions with costumed models give my imagination so much fuel ✨ but also add such a complexity to be digested in 8 minutes poses. i’m learning how to intuitively edit what matters to me. i love something @karlgnass said in tonight’s class: “it’s not about perfection, it’s about dancing” 🤓
thank you @ameninadosvestidos for introducing me t thank you @ameninadosvestidos for introducing me to @karlgnass class. i had a blast tonight, can’t wait to do a whole lotta learning 🤓
there’s something about making things with your there’s something about making things with your own hands. traditional crafts techniques transcend the challenges of art-making. when you build upon all the hands that made things before you, the self is not taking lead, the “i’m not good enough” takes a break. there’s something powerful about being a maker amongst many others, not better, not worse, just one more maker. there’s something so special about being ordinary 🧡 . my last trip to mexico, in january, made me reflect on the importance of arts&crafts to our human experience and i made this embroidery inspired by the painting of a map of mexico by miguel covarrubias i saw at the museo de arte popular (mexico city). . thank you for all the artisans that came before me 🧡
