Working on watercolor monoprinting in the studio today. A few people where asking how the press works. So I made a demo of using a pin press when you don’t have etching press. It’s in my stories and saved as printing demo. Go check it out. #michiganartist #ryhsy #keepshowingup #monoprintmaking #akuapinpress #watercolormonoprint #monoprintart #monoprint #monoprintdemo

Today I came to my sketchbook and I grabbed the first colors that caught my attention. No thinking. Just pure intuition. Risk is thrilling scary and hard but it is good to push yourself out of comfort zone. Plus this is what a sketchbook is for, risk. Nothing is precious. #michiganartist #ryhsy #keepshowingup #dailysketchbook #riskisgood

Still showing up everyday in my sketchbook. Day 139! It is changing everything. Now color is showing up again! #ryhsy #michiganartist #dailysketchbook #keepshowingup

This brought me joy today. Just a moment walking into acupuncture. The lines the lines the lines. Swoon. #michiganartist #dailysketchbook #whatipaint #tree #mindfulpause

Showing up even I want to hide out in the woods all day. It’s been a rough month and I’m feeling it. I’ve over extended and got lost in doing and busyness. Yesterday I remembered what is most important for me. What is my foundation. Being present with an open heart. May sound simple or woo woo but I can tell you it’s hard work and for someone who struggles with anxiety super hard and scary. Here’s to courage and open heart. #middleyearsmonday #michiganartist #ryhsy #artistlife #cultivatinganopenheart

Woo hoo day 125 of my daily sketchbook! So here’s the thing to really know, there have been many days where all I have done are a couple of quick notans or some really quick sketches of what’s in front of me. Some days I forgot to show up and I’m in bed already so I get up out of bed and I do something really quick to say that I did it. The point of doing this daily sketchbook practice is not to have a beautiful curated sketchbook but rather to show up for my art and myself every day. By showing up I’m saying that my work matters and that I am an artist. I am doing the work even if I have a full-time day job, even if I get sick, even if I’m so exhausted I can barely lift my head. This Practice is proving I have what it takes to follow my dreams. #dailysketchbook #michiganartist #ryhsy #keepshowingup
