Just one simple bottle. Loose lines, soft watercolor, and a few splatters for good measure.

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 😊✏️
