Painting a lot of Hearts | Time-lapse video

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
Paramahansa Yogananda

All through February I have been painting colorful hearts in my little notebook. I could probably continue for a while longer, because there is no end to the ways you can portray something that has meaning to you…

Painting Hearts timelapse video of many journal pages by Studio iHanna

Each time I sat down to doodle, draw, paint or splatter paint on the page I filmed the process in time-lapse mood. I have shared some of these already on instagram (where I’m iHannas if you want to follow along there), but I also saved each one and made a compilation video, showing all of them in chronological order.

I hope it will inspire you to bring out your colors. What you paint doesn’t have to be hearts, it can be anything. But allow your ideas to evolve for a while. Create a series of work, that comes from your heart.

You can also watch the introduction and the January time-lapse video, if you haven’t done so yet.

In January I created some abstract pages in this journal. This month, March, I’m experimenting with (mostly) selfies…

I am really enjoying this low-key project right now. Even though I’m filming each painting session, it’s no hassle to set it up as I have the tripod in place all the time. I don’t need to title, scan, edit and upload each page, like I did with the collage project last year. It takes a while to upload to instagram of course, but I don’t even have to do that. It’s just a bonus that I can do on days when I have the time. I love that!

What theme/subject matter would you pick if you were painting the same thing over and over again?

Take care.

  1. Loved all your gorgeous hearts, Hanna! And I really enjoyed both this post and your video! To answer your question, I think I, too, would choose hearts. And then, I might choose outer space objects (planets, moons, stars) or trees or ocean things (waves, coral, jellyfish, etc). But I’m definitely a heart-enthusiast! It’s fun to see all the variations of hearts you created! Thanks for sharing them with us!

  2. I have plans for a ‘simple’ one-item-object-journal’ and already bought canvas/cloth for the cover… I’m just over thinking what subject or theme I will pick. I love your hearts but I’m not a ‘heart-shape’ girl so it has to be something else… it will come to me I’m sure.

  3. I’m trying to finish a journal with a range of techniques – I’m playing again! Perhaps one word at a time like JOY or something to see how many ways to make it work?
