Sketchbook Inspiration | Week Sep 10-16

This week in my sketchbook …

So… I started off this week with cool blues, purples and greens in the Instagram feed and the color explosions just kept going. It was another week of sketchbook inspiration where I was a wee bit obsessed with all things wreathy. AND, everything I painted was feathery and light. I’m using this new dagger watercolor brush and the strokes are just so much fun to create.

It was another week of painting with Prima and using Dr. PH Martin’s Bleed Proof White which is like the UNICORN of white watercolor for me. I’ll be sharing a video next week with my take on this super cool product.

The last pic in the gallery is just little ole me fooling around with Instagram filters while I was on a call. This one is kinda my fav. It’s unicorn like. HA!

Click through for wreathy feathers, color explosions and artsy goodness.

The colors of fall are so warm. I love how these Daniel Smith Watercolors have spread across this palette.

The Prima metallic watercolor palette creates some of the most intense shimmer. Great find!

Look at the glittery goodness in this flower. Shimmer created by Prima's Metallic Watercolor set

This color. This wreath. Oh how the brushstrokes really bring out the feather look and feel.

Brush strokes are made a little easier with the right tool. This level of detail was created with a dagger brush.

The deep violet veins in this petunia are just speaking to me. Look at the detail.

I love the colors of fall. I especially love how my hydrangea turns into this beautiful aubergine as fall approaches.

Under a feather tree, you and me! Having a little fun with this photo and the watercolor pan is the base. Oh the brushstrokes just make me so happy.

Oh feather tree, how I love thee. Those brush strokes, though, right? Who's with me?

I'm completely obsessed with this color palette, the watercolor dagger brush and this feathery wreath.

Look at the detail in this wreath. The feathers. The colors. Just so juicy.

So, whilst on a conference call, I played with some of the new Instagram filters. My bad. But so sparkly.
