In Memory of my Dad

August 4, 2023 Carolina Russo | Sa’Reyah

♥️ The month of July left and it took my Dad, my Papa’ with him!

In a warm Wednesday on the 26 of July, he peacefully left embraced by my Mom and Brother. A day that we never wanted to arrive, our hearts are broken but it was expected during last month! My mom took great care of him! I am so grateful that I was able briefly to talk to my dad last time two days before. I will always miss the ways he used to greet me on the phone, the sound of his happy voice calling my name and the funny laugh together. I missed twenty one years of my Dad and Mom and Brother, because we live so far away. I am in California and they are in my native country Italy! Not easy to see each other but we talk daily! My Dad was an amazing artist his oil paintings and his limitless creativity fascinated me since I was a child.

His Art gene is in me and right now his Art continues to live through my watercolor paintings. He used to tell me ” Carolina you’re brave you choose watercolor, it is much more difficult than oil painting!” My dad was a free spirit, he loved to create from anything, he loved nature, especially the sea and loved fishing, he was an athlete in his young age he played Soccer professionally and he loved Tennis which he practiced and wanted me and my brother to practice since kids and we did with great results! Now my brother is a Professional Coach! He was a wonderful father he worked hard all his life and with my mom he took care his family, a man of loyalty and integrity a great husband. He was the friend of my friends “the eternal young in spirit” like they called him! A gentle heart, I will miss him every day but I know he is with us!

Shine your Light Papa’!

I love you

Thank You!

Happy February!

Feel it in your heart Jpg resized

110354172-february-is-the-month-of-love-black-and-white-isolated-vector-illustration-lettering-about-february- ♥️ Hello everyone, Happy February!
I made this painting of the heart held by flowers a while back. I thought it was nice to share it here today to welcome the month of February. This is a watercolor painting the title is “Feel it in your heart” ❤️
Remember heart coherence is key and it is very powerful! When we connect our mind with our heart and body we are in a balanced flow state which benefits ourselves and everyone around us. Breathing exercises and meditation are a great daily practice that help you to open your heart and expand to reach that deep connection.

I do practice this daily! If you do too, share your experience in the comments. If this is new to you let’s start the month with a new beneficial routine that will greatly improve your life! I leave you with the link to a great video by Scientist Gregg Braden to watch and learn more about heart coherence.

❤️ ❤️❤️ If you would like a Print of my painting “Feel it in your heart” hand enhanced prints are available in my Etsy Shop

I wish you a wonderful February!

Thank You!

INKTOBER 2022 Official Prompt Lists

September 3, 2022September 15, 2022 Carolina Russo | Sa’Reyah

InkTober 2022 is coming soon!
And it means that artists around the world will participate to this great and inspiring drawing challenge. I have participated to InkTober Challenge for the past 6 years Usually I have followed the Official prompt lists combined with another of my favorite October challenges working on the two challenges in one, combining the prompts! Indeed very challenging to do it grows and test your skills. This year I am not sure I will participate I have several projects in mind! Maybe I will draw some of the prompts here and there!

Jake Parker the illustrator and creator of InkTober released the new “Official Prompt List 2022” I am happy to post it here so that you have some time until October 1st to plan your challenge and get ready!

Here is the INKTOBER Story and Rrules:
Illustrator Jake Parker is the creator of this great challenge and initiative started in October 2009. Jake created InkTober as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. Here are the Official Rules:
1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).
2) Post it*
3) Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2022
4) Repeat

That’s it! Now go make something beautiful.
Visit Jake Parker website for more details, videos, inspiration and lots to learn about InkTober. If you like to join these challenges don’t forget when you post your drawing online always add the hashtags #INKTOBER2022 #INKTOBER post your ink drawing online on your Blog and/or on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter…add all the tags to any place you share your drawings online!

Some of my Favorite Supplies:
I use French Artists Watercolors Sennelier l’Aguarelle, Pentel Aqua Brush – Bee Paper for Watercolor 140lb, 100% cotton, cold pressed, size 6×9 inches . Micron or COPIC pens Black, Brown, Dark Red inks #01, #005, White SAKURA Gelly Roll pen, Pentel Pocket Brush blak ink, ALVIN Mab Graves Draft/Matic Pencils , Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks.
(FYI This is not a sponsored post I have no affiliation with any of these brands. I purchase all my supplies and I am only sharing what I like and use)

Good luck to everyone joining InkTober 2022
There is plenty of time to prepare yourself! I honestly during the past 6 years I never planned or worked any sketch in advance it didn’t resonated with me because the goal of this challenge for me was to improvise and get creative and inspired day by day! I only got my supplies ready in advance! But that’s just me! Do what is the best and resonates for you and most importantly have fun and create!
Please if you do participate share your plans or ideas I would love to read! If you’re a beginner or not and have any questions leave it in the comment section I would be happy to respond!

Have a great weekend!

Thank You!
