November 2019: Adriana Foster
Atelier: This November, we're featuring Adriana Foster! Please introduce yourself!
Adriana: Hi! I’m Adriana Foster. I’m a self-taught artist with a love for mixed media and an obsession for sketchbooks. My illustrations feature a dream like world filled with playful figures in simplified landscapes and buildings. You can find my artwork on my Instagram account @studio_solivagant. I’m currently a full-time production and printing assistant at Felix Doolittle.
Self Portrait
Atelier: What kinds of materials and media do you like to use?
Adriana: I mostly work in sketchbooks that have either mixed media, gridded or dotted paper. As a lover of mixed media, I enjoy combining watercolor, gouache, alcohol based brush markers, colored pencils, and extra fine tip black pens. Often enough I'll use gold paint or ink to embellish my pieces because I feel it adds a touch of magic.
Radical
Atelier: What’s an art supply or tool you’re currently obsessed with?
Adriana: I have a "Stand 'N Store" pencil pouch from @meadfivestar that I really love because as the name implies it stands up on its own and holds plenty of pens! There's also a secret interior pocket for small items such as erasers or pencil lead but the best feature of all is that it's see-through so it's easy to find what you’re looking for.

Atelier: What’s a creative goal you have for the year?
Adriana: Not this year but in the near future I plan to create my own line of sketchbooks with mixed paper and if possible maybe stickers or clay pins!
Pastel Ghosts
Atelier: What piece of advice would you give to a beginning artist?
Adriana: Never stop experimenting! Experimenting allows you to open a world full of possibilities in your creative practice. Experimentation is your journey to self-discovery and growth as an artist. It frees you of any expectations so you can create for the sake of creating and find pleasure in doing just that.
