Painting Study 🌷 Full Timelapse Process! 🍿

Happy Weekend everyone! 🍁

Here is the full timelapse process of my painting study! ☺️ This drawing was such a helpful exercise because it’s rare that I study old historical artwork and I learned so much from it, especially when it came to things like value, light, folds, and shiny fabric! ✏️

Something I focused on was making sure I took my time with the sketching phase, particularly the rendering of the shadows, light, and the line work before any col...

Hello again! 🥰

I wanted to show you a sneak-peek of my first drawing for this week’s “ghostly” theme! ✨ I feel like this is sooo different from what I normally draw and it was surprisingly really fun! 🙈 I realized I never draw spooky things, so it feels like I’m broadening my subject matter a little and I love it! 😍

WIP: Studying Classical Art 🖼✨

Happy Sunday everyone! 😌🍁

Today I visited a coffee shop to do some drawing and I felt inspired to study some work by John Singer Sargent! ✨ I learned a lot about his art when I was in art school and I’ve always had a fondness for his soft oil paintings 🥰 especially how he paints folds & shimmery fabric! So I thought it would be a fun challenge to interpret one of his paintings in my style and here’s the sketch so far 💛

Cloud Studies ⛅️✨ Timelapse Drawing Process! ✏️

Hello everyone!! Happy Tuesday 🍁

Here is a little timelapse video of my recent cloud studies! It's been a long time since I've drawn clouds (and I don't draw them very often! 🙈) so each study was actually a huge challenge for me. It was hard to figure out how to balance solid shapes of color with more translucent areas and make the clouds have a weightless feel rather than look heavy, so I definitely struggled! 😅 

But I love doing several studies lik...
