The Lighthouse

And to think a week ago I could only draw stick figures! Of course, I'm using reference photos and following step by step instructions, but still! πŸŽ¨πŸ–ŒοΈπŸ€©

Worked on lesson 6 of SketchLoose free beginner's course last night. And used a blow dryer for the 1st time to accelerate the process! πŸŽ¨πŸ–ŒοΈ

A house in Japan

urban sketch in ink and watercolor

I am super loving this artistic side of me! πŸŽ¨πŸ–ŒοΈ This is day five in Toby's free beginner course, "A House in Japan".

I guess I am an artist now.

My first watercolor!

my first watercolor painting

My first watercolor! I love how my sketch turned out, but the paint part was hard. That sky looks terrible, LOL! I kept practicing with other reference photos and eventually figured out what I was doing wrong (a mix of bad brushes and too little water). 🎨
