Lately, I found myself lurking art blogs (1 2 3) out of my spare time because I’m in need of inspiration but I came to realize I’m surrounded with so much. Now, I’m climbing up to my house’s roof deck to paint the afternoon away! (I kind of regret not bringing a sketchpad to the province. I’m stuck with a not-so-watercolor friendly notebook and my Moleskine.)
These are just a few of what’s inside my planner. After discovering what brush lettering is, it got me hooked! I pretty much just doodle whatever’s playing or where I’ve been. I’m still on the road to learning more techniques and tricks with watercolor. I’ve been using the same watercolor set (Prang, 8-color palette) I’ve owned since 2011 and I still have so much paint left. I honestly don’t know what I did to make it last that long!
A dock a few minutes away from my house became my perfect thinking spot! I'm practically alone with the ocean waves and my thoughts.
Honestly, I find my doodles cartoon-y. If there's one thing I really want to learn, it's how to paint hyper-realistically. I've got a ton of leaves here to use as my muse. I'm raising my brush to more art!
