Watercolor and ink.

From my watercolor sketchbook.

The third drawing of my ocean drawing series.

Mashup of geometric patterns and some organic shapes.

Abstract watercolor painting. Available as a print and other home accessories.

Another wobbly neighborhood. Focusing on color and composition and leaving behind perfect perfective and detail. Ultimately, putting fun first in my personal work moving forward.

Cactus inspired watercolor washes in my sketchbook. Kept this one very lose to see what happens. Watercolor is always full of surprises.

Nautilus.

My 100 day project has basically switched over from digital drawings to watercolor. This is a spread in my sketchbook from the transition. Took a few days but, I am starting to feel like myself when using the medium again. Just needed to reactivate some muscle memory.

Layered watercolor floral inspired by the beginning of autumn.

Mushroom

This is my first attempt at using India Ink. Couldn’t help but get painterly with it. Looking for to more practice!

This was my submission to the recent Mother Nature doodle challenge held here. Mixed media using traditional watercolor and digital line art/embellishments. It is now available on Society6 as a print, stationery, and a variety of phone cases.

Missing the evening sunsets over the Pacific no thanks to the time change in California. Drawn on my iPad in Procreate.

A page from my sketchbook: Watercolor, ink, and acrylic paint.

I have never loved drawing anything city related because I am lazy when it comes to perspective. However, I have learned that I actually like the wobbly nature of my more recent attempts. Or, I simply embraced my laziness. Either way it has been fun!

Moth.

45/100 of my nature illo themed 100 Day Project. I started my challenge drawing only on my iPad but hit some bumps when I forgot my Apple Pencil in Florida (I live in California). With that, I have been getting reacquainted with my sketchbook which has been set aside for a few months until now. Feels good to get back into it. Everytime I come back to painting, I wonder why I ever paused in the first place.

2.5”x3.5” watercolor paintings for 100 days, anything goes. Had a good time and equally relieved to be finished.

Hand. Incorporated a few techno from Lisa Congdon’s Inktober class on Creative Bug. Seems to evoke a little something.
