I just joined Instagram recently, and immediately, my feeds have been flooded with videos of watercolor brush lettering and calligraphy scripts. In the States, brush lettering and modern calligraphy have been making a comeback in the craft world. It is mesmerizing watching people create these beautiful and elegant artwork. These artists make the process look so easy. However, as I quickly found out, the basic strokes may look simple, but mastering them takes patience and practice.
Did you know that July 12 is “Simplicity Day”? Neither did I. :D In honor of the “Simplicity Day”, I’m going to remember to “Just be.” Honestly, I’ve been trying to work through a creative slump lately, and trying different things to get my muse back. But, I think that is my problem… I’ve been trying too hard. So today, I’m going to remember to stop striving, shut off any self criticism or expectations (from me or anyone else), and just be me. Can’t get any simpler than that. Enjoy! :)
