You Are Loved.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dear Friends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realize today I stand with so many survivors on a sensitive subject: Mother’s Day. I lost my mother in a car accident when I was ten years old. It was one of the loneliest and painful periods of my life. And to make things complicated, my mom was not a very warm or nurturing person (which makes me compassionately curious to ask how her childhood was...probably loveless and very difficult). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mother’s Day has definitely been a trigger-word/phrase for me for many years because my household was nothing like those Hallmark commercials. Over time, I was able to flip the inner narrative to start healing and save my own life. I have used art to help me—as a healing practice & meditative choice—not to eradicate pain but to live at peace with loss and to coexist with the idea of a positive relationship I never had. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For whatever reason, if Mother’s Day is a bittersweet holiday for you and you’re hurting, please know you are not alone. I see you. And hold you in tenderness and in hope and in comforting thoughts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are loved.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I push watercolors around to make magic—to deliver great content, to make art so approachable that it will continue to inspire, to keep learning and growing... </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the Sparkler members asked a great question and I thought I'd share it here as well.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stephie M. asked: Why [gouache] over watercolor?...could you use watercolor and get similar effects? </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here was my reply: Gouache is fantastically opaque and has the covering power that you need to: 1) fix the planets back to their circular shape and 2) serve as new substrate for finishing with watercolor and gouache as a last layer. Watercolor is too transparent to achieve these objectives. You could skip using gouache and do my lesson using 100% watercolor but if you do, you’ll need more time, more layering (called glazing) and perhaps a liquid frisket to mask off the planets first to achieve a satisfying/smooth background space wash. I wanted to invent a quicker painting session with minimal frustrations or technical hurdles. Hope that helps!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An art studio, for me, is not just an area for art-making, it is a deeply personal and sacred space we give to ourselves. For the past 13 years that I’ve been a part-time watercolorist and mixed-media artist, my studio has evolved from a kitchen island to the dining table, from inside a linen closet to the corner of a spare bedroom, and finally, after purchasing our very first home, a renovated living room that is now an art gathering place. All creative spaces are tremendously precious and invaluable. They serve as incubators of ideas, a safe haven to dream, and a permission slip to play.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQeH5Ix7MEvYtq9p8WDVCBTP24HkssUgO_GskMuyXZoOID8rJKwum2dtj5UBri4shz2vbz75Vn1dZ1hyoLAgtcxoeXtY3zBUlfj_PGN-whRjtECeo0t4kVB8ORAMQUi49JR0t4v_lTv04/s1600/a%252Bw+night+studio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1288" data-original-width="1600" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQeH5Ix7MEvYtq9p8WDVCBTP24HkssUgO_GskMuyXZoOID8rJKwum2dtj5UBri4shz2vbz75Vn1dZ1hyoLAgtcxoeXtY3zBUlfj_PGN-whRjtECeo0t4kVB8ORAMQUi49JR0t4v_lTv04/s640/a%252Bw+night+studio.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sometimes, I would take my art studio outdoors while on a nature walk or sitting down at a café. The point is, an art studio, no matter how tiny or spacious, rented or owned, conventional or unconventional, is ultimately a symbol of self-care. It is how I tune out the rest of the world so I can begin listening to myself. And as a person who craves creativity, it was particularly important to find my own artistic voice. An art studio is how I began designing my life.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Once I had a dedicated art space, something within me changed. I took myself more seriously as an artist. I became a bit braver each day. I began submitting my artwork to magazines and built relationships with publishers. Sometimes my art submissions would get rejected, but it didn’t matter. I was grateful for the opportunity to do something daring in my life, and also that I had a physical place to return to… to start making art again. A studio setting gave me the room to grow and nurture a body of work. My wish is the same for you. Please honor yourself, your creativity, and your dreams. You don’t need a fully decked-out, custom made studio; a cleared corner of a desk will do. You just need a warm and inviting space with good intention. The world needs to hear and see your art. You need to hear and see your art.</span><br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;">
Decorating a creative space can be a joyful, rewarding process. Here are some organizational tips that worked for me, and a few backstories/explanations to go along with it:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hunting garage sale pieces, flea market finds, and furniture marked for clearance is how I slowly built foundational pieces for my art room. Also, Ikea is my BFF.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bookcases and bookshelves serve as great vertical storage. I use stackable boxes and trays to take advantage of every inch of shelf space.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Storage doesn’t have to be expensive or uniform. You can be eclectic, thrifty, and pretty with your storage solutions. I love any design that is both beautiful and functional.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Color is everything. It’s been said that your outer world is a reflection of our inner world, but I think it works both ways. When I am surrounded by calm, beautiful color, my heart feels like it’s being hugged, and I get inspired to create. Maybe it’s a cyclical relationship.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 16px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-align: start;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">I embrace a super messy studio because it means I’m blissfully creating or panicking over a deadline. But in order for me to keep a consistent workflow, I spend a lot of time cleaning, tidying, and reorganizing my studio between projects. No matter how late it is or how tired I am, I make sure I leave my watercolor station all prepped and ready to go with clean water and brushes for the next project. It’s how I honor the space. I learned this honoring-of-space years ago in karate class. Whenever we entered or left the arena, we had to bow to the space as a sign of respect. Today, I may not literally bow to my art studio, but I do know how lucky I am. I make sure to respect my creative space and show gratitude by taking care of it.</li>
</ul>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">I love being a mixed-media artist and testing out new art supplies. Plus, a good portion of my art supplies come from companies that have asked me to try out their products. But after learning about the KonMari Method of organizing and streamlining, and listening to The Minimalist podcast, I realized where my anxiety was coming from. I was holding onto way too much stuff. Now I treat my studio organization as a game: If I can’t find a place for an item or if I haven’t used something in a while but it’s cluttering my mind or mental space, I donate those art supplies to friends, schools, or a local charity. I want to spend less time decluttering and more time making art.</li>
</ul>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Throw an Art & Wine party! I do this about once a month in my studio space and it is a dream come true. I can comfortably fit six people, and no one has accidentally dipped their paintbrush in a wine glass yet. As a working artist and a mom, this it is how I fill my creative cup. Nothing blesses a space more than sharing your life and your art skills with others. I knew I wanted to create a studio to uplift people, but the universe has blessed me back a thousand fold.</li>

Mermaids are a popular theme and far as stencils go, <a href="http://stencilgirlproducts.com/">StencilGirlProducts.com</a> has a nice selection of them. I was particularly drawn to these two (designed by Jessica Sporn and June Pfaff Daley):</div>

What I love about this stencil pair is how image-rich they are. Every real estate of the 9"x12" mylar surface was used! With such generous oceanic icons, textures, and figures to choose from, it was difficult to decide which image to use. But alas, the mermaids helped guide me on my art journey.<br />

Please enjoy a tutorial video--my watercolor and mixed-media approach to using such beautiful stencils.<br />

<br />
Here's a re-cap of the major steps and techniques:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmTZeFPR-46ueabjHtLGMJ7o-eem1mz8ZEbxIbzcYoSbuowoU7RmIy2x6gqQNWXhTYCjsYQ72B9jrlremaQpuWdBeibjpIwXEwtDlXkF4pD2CV9nz87WFMbwbLqFqhDADHh1XkW0Z0N0/s1600/image3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmTZeFPR-46ueabjHtLGMJ7o-eem1mz8ZEbxIbzcYoSbuowoU7RmIy2x6gqQNWXhTYCjsYQ72B9jrlremaQpuWdBeibjpIwXEwtDlXkF4pD2CV9nz87WFMbwbLqFqhDADHh1XkW0Z0N0/s320/image3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Step 1) Gather your art materials and mermaid stencils. For this exercise, you can use either light modeling paste (Golden) or watercolor ground (Daniel Smith).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwTrYgkkPGCQwfT9hLhsVuAizZ7UmVvF1DjVO7kgo5_GrZbgDPhys4teOesAuGdbq303cnKpuD-vRNO43Y7E5fxj2pIHv_Y0F1ZWcLLtuf_43EBEDgdylImLc6ubR4whyLQO6M58AR0kU/s1600/image2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="1200" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwTrYgkkPGCQwfT9hLhsVuAizZ7UmVvF1DjVO7kgo5_GrZbgDPhys4teOesAuGdbq303cnKpuD-vRNO43Y7E5fxj2pIHv_Y0F1ZWcLLtuf_43EBEDgdylImLc6ubR4whyLQO6M58AR0kU/s320/image2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Step 2) Make several sheets of stenciled pages by applying the paste or ground with a palette knife. Let dry and set aside. TIP: whatever stenciled images you don't use, you'll now have a convenient supply of marine-themed collage elements to use in a different project.<br />

Step 3) With an x-acto knife, cut your signature pages to make several ocean wave flaps and begin painting a sunset sky with warm shades of watercolors. Let dry.<br />

OPTIONAL: Add any touches of shimmer like glitter or metallic paints as a final detail. I also glazed the sky one more time for a deeper, richer pink (as seen in my finished photo at the very beginning of this blog post).<br />

To add unique dimention, I used Dura-lar transparencies (made by Grafix), watercolor, gouache, oil pastels, washi tape, collage, and more.

Hello everyone! If you're arriving here via Instagram or DeepSpaceSparkle.com, welcome!</div>

Here's a shot right before our podcast recording (Patty lives in Santa Barbara and I'm in Chicago). My laptop had to be propped on a crate and an empty storage bin so that my head wouldn't be chopped off while we Skyped. My craft table is full of joyful things--art supplies, paintings...........and coffee.</div>

Here's a before-photo when I have multiple deadlines. And an after-photo when things become calm again or when I have guests coming over. I struggle with clutter everyday. As a working artist and a mom, I try to keep things real. I do have OCD tendencies (e.g. insatiable need to tidy things in rainbow order), but I think that's just the nurse in me. I love my messy stages, too. </div>

Patty asked me how I became a watercolor teacher. While I was pursuing my nursing degree in Massachusetts, I led children, youth and adult watercolor workshops as a volunteer at a local Audubon Society nature conservancy. Today, I tribute much my art instructor experience to my 5 year old son. He teaches <u>me</u> how to make any art-making process fun, creative, and approachable. He's an awesome studio helper and an art supply test-driver. :)</div>

I love the light in my new studio. I feel so grateful and giddy and inspired to paint in here. For years prior to owning our first home, I blissfully painted wherever I could--at our condo's dining table back in MA or <a href="http://ginaleekim.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-studio-tour-part-2.html" target="_blank">inside the closet of a spare bedroom</a> (at the last house we rented). My husband always wanted to build me an art studio. And finally, that dream came true.<br />
<br />
<br />
As you can see below, the prior owners used it as a sitting room, painted in a dark burgundy. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello! If you’re joining me from <a href="http://www.arttothe5th.com/" target="_blank">Art to the 5th</a>’s 2016 DLP website or their weekly unPlanner blog, welcome :). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's an honor to be a Documented Life Project Featured Artist! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My absolute vocation or creative calling has always been watercolor. Currently, I am working on something tremendous—a dream-come-true art project that will allow me to share my watercolor skills in a bigger way. Stay tuned...</div>

This week’s challenge is: “Ask someone else to draw or make marks on your art piece”.
I love doing collaborative art with my 4-year-old. And since he’s a space-nut, this art journal page is dedicated to him. </div>

<b>What is 21 SECRETS?</b><br />
<br />
21 SECRETS is a mega art journaling workshop with instant, unlimited access to 21 different teachers. It's like having a team of talented artists right there beside you, eager to share their knowledge. As a super downloadable eBook, there are over 25 hours of videos and 150+ pages full of color photos, templates, and detailed instructions. 21 SECRETS was designed to help students discover new techniques and bold approaches to art making (from beginners to seasoned artists) for anyone who’s looking to energize their creativity at their own pace.<br />
<br />
There's a huge incentive for those who enroll early---> <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1444295&c=ib&aff=298904&cl=134923" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">CLICK HERE</span></b></a><br />

<i>Making art is a dynamic form of keeping a spiritual practice. One of the most beautiful aspects of watercolor is how welcoming and accessible it is. Who knew that simply swirling pigments with water would cultivate a deeper, inward journey of creativity, imagination, and playfulness. </i><i>The power of entering this magical state (aka flow) is within every one of us.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In this workshop, I will guide you through what I call the six stages of creating a watercolor painting—Courage, Curiosity, Compassion, Connection, Completion, and Contemplation.</i><br />

<br />
<i>Each step contains a specific watercolor technique, embracing a universal philosophy. So whether you’re painting in your studio or navigating the outside world, it is all a sacred act. If you'd like to create with more intuition, emotion and expressiveness, then this is the class for you. We will be incorporating beautiful mixed-media with watercolors like gouache, collage, foil, marker, stencil, oil pastel.....just to name a few!</i><br />

Yellow is a tricky color--some people love it and some people hate it. But as far as mixing and blending goes, it's essential to a watercolorists' palette. I share how I use yellow as a supporting actor to create a magical yet subtle underglaze. </div>

You guys!!! Cloth Paper Scissors (via Interweave Store) is now selling one of my prints </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/signed-art-print-from-gina-lee-kim?utm_source=ls&utm_medium=affiliate&cid=affiliate&siteID=x2v_tiBTuPU-UoLzcXnKcaLc9XUkjdm1vQ" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Sailboat Dream</span></b></a>". </div>

This signed print measures 8.5" x 10.98” and has a semi-gloss finish. It is anchored on an 11” x 14” acid-free mat board. At $20, these prints arrive ready to frame!! They are very limited in stock, so hurry. And sorry, coupons cannot be applied to this item.

Note: I also sell this print on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GinaLeeKim?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">my etsy store</span></a>. The difference is my etsy print comes un-matted, uses 120 lb. premium paper, and has a Rumi quote written across the sky. This print runs a little thinner at 90 lb. (feels more like a full color poster print) and the sky lacks any writing on it. But it's still pretty and a great value without needing to buy a separate mat.</div>
