@MistyMagic it's half way through the year!?!!? Yaaaaaay! It's almost xmas 😁😁😁 the weather is warm here 💖
My goal is to stop overdoing it and recover properly no matter how boring that is. My appendix burst and I was rushed into hospital for surgery 🙁 yesterday I definetly over done it, now I feel really ill, so I'm gonna start being a good girl 💖
@Tinywhisper11 Rest well!
I can't believe we're already halfway through 2025! Time really slips between our fingers.
I hope to create more art this Summer! I haven't been able to draw or paint much since I've been so busy with classes. I'm hoping to get some still life practice :) ❤️🌻
@DEnness4128 I love painting too, what kind of paints?
Acrylic, mostly! I find it a lot easier to work with since I like to add depth by building up through layers. I usually paint on canvas or flat boards. How do you like to paint? 😊
@DEnness4128 |I love watercolour, I love having deep colours in detail ( I am a bit of a perfectionist, but I am starting to use water mixable oils now too. Oils that layer but that don't smell and that can be washed in water making it easier than pure oils.
Acrylics are awesome, I have painted round the garden fence with flowers lol.
But they dry sooo fast, I now have a medium to add that gives me a little more time to paint but I am not sure. What do you think or are you a fast painter?
I've never tried using painting medium before, although I've been intrigued by it! I've worked with watercolors in the past as well. But I've always found them a little unwieldy, haha. Maybe I just need to practice more.
@DEnness4128 are your acrylics tubes or bottles or what?
I have a mix of all sorts! I'm the "artist in the family" according to my relatives, lol. So I've acquired a collection through their gifts over the years. I tend to use my tube paints for smaller paintings/finer details by dipping the brush inside. While I use my bottles for mixing in my paint palette. It makes it annoying that they all have different textures and dry at different times, I'll admit. 😖 But I think the eclectic nature can also produce some nice texture variation.
@DEnness4128 oh I agree, and texture is great for depth and interest. Will reply more tomorrow.
@DEnness4128 I wanted to ask, do you use any special tools or things to help paint?

@MistyMagic
our goal is to keep working on getting apartment decluttered and also do more art work. to share it with others. also to work on allowing self to label feelings and allow them to just be not try to numb them or any other negative ways to stop feeling them.
@stormieandpaws that sounds good stormie, but hard work. How are you getting on so far? Any tips?
@MistyMagic
with the apartment stuff it trying to do a little each day and not over doing it.
with the issues around feelings and fear of labeling them. for first time yesterday we told therapist this as we never had put it in words to her. she seemed to kinda understand why we feel as we do about this with emotions and she willing to work with us on this too. so our tip would be to not allow fear to keep you from growing emotionally and mentally. even when everything within seem to be yelling not to tell others what really keeping you stuck too. it also ok to tell secrets if keeping them unhealthy and harmful
@stormieandpaws great work, you seem to be making progress and learning what works with you all too.
Keep sharing your tips, they will help others!
@MistyMagic
we hope others can learn from us we learned a lot from others on 7cups too.
