Daily art

When I say I create every day….I mean it! Whether it’s a quick 10 minute sketch or a full on creative work, I need to create in order to feel sane. You can follow my Fine Art instagram feed over on that site (and/or my craft/personal page), or just scroll through the art below!

Doing a little sketchbook work today… And filmed part of this for my first reel over on my other account! Eeek learning new things. (See the reels tab over there. I may do some here too, they’re quick for #wip stuff.) 😂 Sketched in @danielsmithartistsmaterials walnut ink using a glass dip pen. #dailyart #sketching #penandink #walnutink

Negative painting around white trees must be one of the hardest things to paint… Which makes practice all the more valuable. #lakemichiganbookpress #sketchaday #watercolor

For my watercolor friends...a whole bunch of my basic watercolor videos are gathered up in one place now! Not technique but the basic paper, paint, and brush kinds of things. As I’ve been doing all this digital spring cleanup, I’ve also noticed some topics I haven’t covered before, so it’s helping me get helpful content on a list for future videos. 😍 Go to sandyallnock.com and use the “Inspiration” tab to find it. 😍 https://bit.ly/3jmqWYY

I spent the morning in the studio...painting a new dawn. The afternoon is dedicated to much computer work. I think this powered me up for that.

I attended the online Covid Memorial in DC a few hours ago....and wept like a baby. I didn’t realize how much I missed being able to attend two funerals except online. Once I regained my composure, I painted the memorial, in honor of those I knew who died. I agree with the newscaster recommending this be a permanent memorial; it’s soooo beautiful and fits perfectly by the reflecting pool. 💔

I came across some old photos from the 90s of one of my favorite camping trips at glacier national Park in Montana. Yes, printed photos! I saw this one and I remember clearly sitting on the side of the lake, thinking wouldn’t it be nice to be a painter. Well guess what...I am one now! So it was time to try it.

I nearly gave up on this painting about four times… Some of my lunch is under the paint (#sloppy), the trees aren’t quite the color I wanted, the mountain and reflection got a little overworked, and then the rocks under the water were giving me all sorts of fits. But at each step, I made a determination out loud that I would learn as much from this piece of paper as I could. And I did! Especially after screwing up the rocks. I found someone on YouTube who painted some underwater rocks and that helped get me unstuck. At the end, I am still somewhat happy with the painting, and super tickled that I can tell my 90’s self not to give up! #dailyart #watercolor #watercolorpainting #montana #glaciernationalpark
