This day ran like a well-oiled machine 🎨💗🙌🏻 Harmony Hardin Illustration 2023-06-10 | Want more deets on the day? ⬇️This was a Friday, which is an important bit of info because I work my hospital job four days a week, but Friday is not one of them. So that means more family time and more art business time! 💗🎨Little one woke me up at 5:15 today. So I got an early but groggy start, leaving us ready to conquer the day at 9! Today on the family side we: grocery shopped, cooked lunch, pre-cooked dinner and tomorrow’s lunch in the rice cooker and slow cooker, had a solid nap and walk in the park, had outdoor time thoroughly enjoying spraying each other with the garden hose, played together, had dinner as a unit. And on the art business side: watered my future flowers for future paintings, filled out a government form for customs, made this gosh-darn YouTube short that took like an hour to edit 💀, fixed an issue with my packaging manufacturer, did a wee trial of a photoshoot and learned I’ll need to iron the tea towels first, sent some important emails for the podcast, started editing a file that needs to be fixed for printing thank you cards… of course I always think I can achieve more than I do, but I a super pumped about the progress anyway 💪🏼. What does your perfectly balanced day look like? #artistday #parttimeartist #artbusiness #watercolorartist #artentrepreneur #studiovlog #dayinthelife

Or make more social media content, so the art you do create gets seen and potentially bought? Phew, it can be exhausting trying to figure this out.

Well, in this video, I want to share that perspective with you. I am a watercolor artist and a host of a new livestream artist business chat podcast, and last year I took 30 days to try to grow on TikTok. In this video, I share my results and thoughts with you candidly. I am also just re-starting the use of TikTok & a general push on social media (TikTok, IG, etc.) in the month of June 2023.

Paint along with me: Wisteria flowers, gorgeous and simple! Harmony Hardin Illustration 2023-05-16 | Ahh, sweet wisteria! Stunning to look at, and a joy to paint! Paint along with me today as we create these watercolor wisteria flowers from sketch to final art piece. It is not complicated, but it does take patience and practice to wait for the paint to dry and create the delicate layers. I show you exactly how I do it in this video. By the way: I only use a single paint brush for this whole piece! It's so fun to have a million brushes and paints, and if your budget allows and it is your dream: go for it! But this video is proof you do not need tons of supplies to make a beautiful piece. I have linked the exact supplies I used below, but in essence all you will need is: a blue and red watercolor (to mix purple), a green watercolor, yellow, and if you like white watercolor too.

Do THIS to spark your creative inspiration! Harmony Hardin Illustration 2022-09-03 | Do you need a breath of fresh air for your art? Then join me on this walk that will get lots of new ideas flowing! Timing: 00:00 Questions & Mind Exercises01:43 Botanical Sketchbook03:06 Floral Watercolor Wreaths When I go out for walks, I try to notice all the little details and learn about what I see. But I also love to play free association games in my mind, to ask myself somewhat ludicrous questions, and to see where this brain exercise can lead me. I also do some very low pressure botanical-inspired (non-scientific) sketching.Some of my best ideas come during walks, or in a quiet moment afterwards like when I process it all in a relaxing shower. I think the same might happen for you, if you let it :). So in this video I share my process for my artist walks - call them artist dates if you will. I also show my process for painting my floral wreaths. If you are looking to commission for one of them, please contact me via Instagram DM or email! Thank you to all those who watch my videos. You are making my dreams come true! I hope my videos help and/or entertain you! If you enjoyed this video, please share it with other artists, art fans, botany lovers, and more! Every like and comment further helps this video to be shown to other souls who might just need this little pick-me-up inspirational video. // Gear & services I use for my YouTube videos // *Camera: amzn.to/3yfE0sq*Lens: amzn.to/3HTfZdJ*Light: amzn.to/39X7nGm*TubeBuddy: tubebuddy.com/harmonyhardin*MorningFame: morningfa.me/invite/harmony*EpidemicSound: epidemicsound.com/referral/xpa1l6// Supplies I use for my art //*My favourite watercolor paints: amzn.to/3HQagFt*My favourite watercolor paper: amzn.to/3ncCRviDisclaimer: I purchased all these tools with my own money and am recommending them honestly.

HOW TO TRANSFER A DRAWING TO ANOTHER PAPER - 3 options! Harmony Hardin Illustration 2021-04-16 | How do you transfer a drawing to watercolor paper? In this video, I share 3 ways to make that happen.Repeated erasing on watercolor paper can cause the surface of the paper to disintegrate in a way that makes it very difficult or impossible to work with. That is why it is better to finalize your sketch elsewhere... But then how do you transfer the drawing to another paper, your watercolor paper? I will show you three of my favorite ways to do so, ranging from low budget to needing a significant investment, and share the pros ➕ and cons ➖ of each method. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Time stamps00:00 Intro00:18 Method #1: Graphite paper 📝02:52 Method #2: Lightbox / light board 💡 (you could use a window, too!) 03:48 Method #3: Scanner, iPad (drawing tablet) & printer 🖨07:39 Pros & Cons of each method11:23 Why not sketch on watercolor paper?*Scanner: amzn.to/3OFqHXC*iPad: amzn.to/3bp71ZA*light board similar to mine: amzn.to/3HQU8Uv// Gear & services I use for my YouTube videos // *Camera: amzn.to/3yfE0sq*Lens: amzn.to/3HTfZdJ*Light: amzn.to/39X7nGm*TubeBuddy: tubebuddy.com/harmonyhardin*MorningFame: morningfa.me/invite/harmony*EpidemicSound: epidemicsound.com/referral/xpa1l6// Supplies I use for my art //*My favourite watercolor paints: amzn.to/3HQagFt*My favourite watercolor paper: amzn.to/3ncCRviDisclaimer: I purchased all these tools with my own money and am recommending them honestly.

STUDIO VLOG 07 🌸My first steps with Adobe Illustrator & ALL the spring vibes in Switzerland Harmony Hardin Illustration 2021-04-08 | Welcome to Studio Vlog 07! This time, I take my first footsteps in Adobe Illustrator as a total newbie. Since I am enrolled in the Immersion course by Bonnie Christine, I am learning the technical features of the software and how to create surface pattern designs. But it's not all just theory, in this video I try to make my first pattern with the software! Since all that computer work can get a little much for your eyes (and your soul), though, I also take you on a few little short breaks out into glorious spring sunshine. You'll see views so pretty, they are almost guaranteed to put a smile on your face :).
