  1. Found this word and then this image. I thought they went well together. The word: liberosis; which is the desire to care less about things. It spoke to me. #wordoftheday #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmann

  2. When venting about some things with our lovely secretary @marnakait, she described it as “disappointing chaos”. I immediately said that I would letter it! She always has the best quips for me! Thank you Maureena! #maureenasayings #academiclife #designeducation #arteducation #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmann

  3. Today @karl.jahnke was our guest speaker in Art App and I had a blast. These are my doodle notes of it. I even gave Karl a little blush on the cheeks. Followed by my drawing lesson work with @benjaminjshamback. #sketchnoting #sketchnotinglectures #almahoffmanndrawings #almahoffmann

  4. Come to shop my artwork. 10 years of lettering practice. Need space for new work. All paper is $5. Framed is $50. This is a steal! @usa_visualarts @uofsouthalabama #almahoffmann

  5. I’ve been practicing all day after my morning class with @jurgen_vercaemst through the @thegentlepenman site. This is the last one I did and my hand and shoulder were tired, very tired. But I wanted to complete it. Obviously I have a lot to learn and improve on this style. So, maybe a broken toe and having to stay off my feet will be helpful to practice. #thegentlepenman #jurgenvercaemst #letterdrawingmoleskine #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmann

  6. This weekend’s experiments. Not sure how I feel about them. Might have to redo them. #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  7. Flowers and plants don’t last for me. I’m a professional plant killer but when I paint them, they live forever. And I gave to keep practicing or else I’ll forget what I’ve learned. #watercolorflorals #floralwatercolor #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  8. Watercolors are a treacherous medium. It looks so easy but it takes a lot of restraint. I’m used to acrylics which you work and rework. But after several years and I mean, several, I think I’m finding my rhythm. Fingers crossed. #watercolorfloral #abstractflowerwatercolour #almahoffmannwatercolor #almahoffmann

  9. Using a sponge brush saturated in water I decide to test it by lettering with it. Then dropped watercolor ink on them. The ink is so concentrated. Next time I’ll dilute it more. Then I outlined the letters with a @posca_usa acrylic marker. #poscalettering #watercolorlettering #watercolorinklettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmann

  10. I will be teaching lettering this coming semester and wanted to refresh the image I use on my syllabus & on Canvas. I was and continue to procrastinate about the lessons I will teach because there are so many to pick. Sometimes my issues are non issues but become issues because my endless need to wander & ask more questions. #letteringclass #letteringlessons #letteringsyllabus #watercolorlettering #builtupcapitals #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmann

  11. Not exactly Lin the direction I want but I’m thinking I’ll tag along until my neurons connect the dots… just hurry. #abstractwatercolor #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  12. Today, I was able to do something I felt it was more in tune with my vision. It’s my second attempt today. But I’ll take it. I’m doubting my ability to do something I’m very attracted to but my brain keeps saying, not that way. So, I’ll continue. #abstractwatercolor #abstractflowerwatercolour #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  13. I think I’m going through a regressive phase of skills, ideas, attention to detail… everything feels off and I can’t seem to get to a place where I feel centered in my art making. I feel frustration but I’m trying to just take it one step at a time. Not everything needs to be beautiful when you practice daily, that’s true. I can’t seem to get where I want to be… #creativefrustration #creativeuncreative #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  14. The rabbit hole expands deeper and deeper. Analog watercolors have no command z, no copy and paste, and limited easing capabilities. There are things in my mind that I want to achieve but I move in a different direction. #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann

  15. I’ve been on the watercolor flower kick rabbit hole. These are not great but they’re practice. One must be patient to see the best on the other side. I’m not that patient but I’m determined. #almahoffmann #almahoffmannwatercolors

  16. I had no idea where this would go. Approached it with no sense of inspiration or creativity. Grabbed the sketchbook, watercolors, and the letterbox. Thought, I will start with what I know; making the backgrounds and let’s see what goes on. #almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmannwatercolors #almahoffmann #uninspiredartist

  17. Back to my usual daily practice! In Milan our taxi driver was very upset that we wanted a cab instead of walking to the hotel. He kept saying “mama mia”! Both of our phones said it’d be a 10 minute walk. With our bags it could easily take 20. We were a lot closer than we realized. When we realized our blunder we couldn’t stop feeling bad for the driver and laugh about our ignorance. @kkburns88 @usa_study_abroad #studyabroaditaly2024 ##almahoffmannlettering #almahoffmannletters #almahoffmann

  18. My newest obsession: drying flowers. My niece @adrianadiaz729 gave me a drying flower kit for Xmas and these are my first dry flowers. I think they can go another round. I’ll probably use them to make cyanotypes. #dryingflowers #dryflowers #almahoffmannpics #almahoffmann
