Things are getting Inktense, Art Vlog with Neurographic Zentangle Sketchbook Progress July 2024

My regular update of all the Arts and Crafts I've been getting up to. This week I'll be showing you all of the artwork that I've been attempting over the last two weeks. I've been learning how to use my Inktense pencils and filling in my new Neurographic/Zentangle Sketchbook. No crafts again this week, I'm on a mission to improve my art!
As always, do use the timestamps/chapters to navigate to the parts of the video that you might like to watch, or just sit back and enjoy!

After becoming ill in October 2022, With a subsequent diagnosis of Grave's Disease (May 23), I decided to create tutorials for all of my flowers and makes. I'd spent 8 years perfecting my techniques and now, I'm happy to share them with you all, make them for yourself, your friends or even to sell...
I've had to close down all my selling platforms as I wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders.
With no improvement in my health and another diagnosis of Connective Tissue Disease (Feb 24), and then Cutaneous Lupus (Jun 24).
I am now focusing on all the art techniques and crafts which I've always wanted to try, but never did.. I'm still managing to do at least one, sometimes two hours of arty things most days. This includes making, drawing and painting. It's something I can do - even when I'm exhausted from the fatigue of my illness, I can just sit quietly and draw.
I've only started drawing again in September 2023 after many decades of not drawing, so I'm very much out of practice and still learning!
Come join me on my creative journey - Do let me know that you dropped by, just leave me a little message, a wave or thumbs up in the comments section.
Your support really is gratefully received.

Very nice. I hope you are doing well today. I'll be checking out your site. Looks interesting. Take care.

Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend!

Good morning! Wow I love your circles. Your style is developing so beautifully. I loved your dragonfly on the watercolour background. I also do neurographic art on watercolour background. So relaxing. I sometimes take it to the next level and turn them into rocks. I am so glad you are doing well. I have taken the plunge and started livestreaming. My brain cannot handle editing video, so I will just do videos live and leave it at that. I will throw you a follow with my streaming account name (starts with "Digital"). Have an awesome day and thank you again for another inspirational video!

Thank you Lisa, good luck with the livestreaming - not sure I would be organised enough for that!! Thanks for dropping by!
