Today’s page was a mix of botanical sketches and color play. I worked from references shared by Nathalia Velásquez (@puapualena) and Viola Hortová (@viola.artstudio) from their Patreon sketching sessions.

A few flowers, some leaf

Days 16 & 17: 100 Days of Creative Dr
Just one simple bottle. Loose lines, soft watercolor, and a few splatters for good measure.

Day 15: 100 Days of Creative Drifting: a Sketching Practice #the100dayproject
Some sketches of simple containers and jars painted with watercolor and pencils.🫙 🎨

Day 14: 100 Days of Creative Drifting: a Sketching Practice #the100dayproject
Today’s page turned into a little study session — watercolor swatches and line experiments with a few different pens and pencils.

Lesson with @yvonne_morell_painting 😊✏️

I experimented a little with paper too. Watercolor paper definitely gives better results…but honestly, I still love my cheap sketc

take a look around!
