The hardest part about learning to draw is the amount of hours you have to spend staring at the same thing, the same lines, the same errors, the same colours… for hours then you have to try and convince yourself that you still like it.💁‍♀️

This week I learned having two pieces on the go really helps as I never want to stop drawing when I’m in a flow state so I never took breaks before.
Being able to break by delving into another piece really gives my brain a chance to reboot and like the picture again as I see it from a different perspective ☺️🐈

I’m so glad I found the courage to fully step into art.

I honestly think I held back for years because subconsciously I didn’t want to be anything like my mum (she was an incredible artist but took away my childhood).

It’s moments like these when I’m connecting with my roots filled with peace and love instead of resentment that I’m truly grateful for the journey I took to get here. I’m really proud of where I came from and I’m excited for where the universe will guide me next. 🧡🎨

This week I practiced my first black and white piece little Cino 25/06/2026 🐶

Taken some effort to understand textures with just black and white but I really enjoyed this challenge!

I’ve always loved to challenge myself to keep learning because I truly believe we don’t know what we’re capable of until we give it a go and that really excites me.

I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to always have an end goal to what it was I was trying to achieve and felt like a failure when I lost interest which happens a lot with my brain 🤣

The best lesson I ever learned was to simply remove the idea of always having an end goal, just enjoy the process of learning something new and being fluid to my ever changing life and mindset.

For me I’ve realised it’s really important to have multiple things on the go, so I have a variety of hobbies that keep me stimulated and engaged as my mindset ebbs and flows through life.

I don’t enjoy being restricted to one thing or one way of thinking neither do I like putting myself in a box or labels.

This month I’ve decided to focus on discovering my creative side something I’ve wanted to do for a long time but not really been ready to sit still with myself long enough to engage.

It’s a great feeling to finally be in a place where I can find fun in something that keeps me still in solitude discovering my creative side but also finding peace in a more regulated nervous system is an exciting new step in my life ✨😌 taken in Perth, Western Australia by @artnsohl
