Sketchbook Inspiration | Week Sep 17-23

This week in my sketchbook …

I guess you could say I’m still a bit obsessed with the purple, blues and greens from my sketchbook inspiration shares in my Instagram feed. This week’s blooms were a bit more loose and free and I was inspired to created a wee little butterfly. Fun week playing with this palette again.

I’ve shared a photo of my custom Prima palette. I have all of the current prima watercolors that are available, but sometimes, I like to move them around and create my own palettes. I’ve shared the color names from Prima in the gallery. I also made great fun use of Dr. PH Martin’s Bleed Proof White which I know… I know, I’ve shared it’s the UNICORN of white watercolor for me.

The blues and purples of this laurel wreath make me so happy. You?

This petunia makes the perfect inspiration.

Love the color and texture of this feathery wreath, you?

Here's my custom built palette of watercolors from different Prima sets

Soft and flowy and never showy. Flowers are happiness boosters, yes?

Soft and flowy flowers are some of my favorites.

Butterflies have a great deal of meaning to me.

This butterly is a watercolory symbol of transformation.

Clematis in close-up with a bit of white detail to give it texture.

Oh purple flowers, how I love thee. The density of the watercolors are striking.

The clematis is one of my favorite flowers. Well, all flowers are.

I've been super inspired to paint the look and feel of the Clematis flower.

The saturation of color in these pink watercolor pans from Prima Marketing are to die for.
