This morning, I stumbled across a mini plein air painting in my sketchbook that I completely forgot existed. Honestly, this was a really nice surprise to find from past me 🙃
It was equally fun and rewarding to finish up this piece.

This was my first time trying by acrylagouache out in the wild and it was definitely a challenge for me! I really didn’t like this piece at all until the last five minutes working on it. Leaning into fun colors and mixed media saved me. 😅

Have you ever felt that magical spark when you’re creating? You might just be an art witch ✨

A fun, quick color study I did with a simple pack of crayola color pencils. 🌈

Started this with soft chalk pastels, accidentally used the wrong fixative and thought I messed it all up, then decided to scribble on it some more with oil pastels.

I am obsessed with my pink/white/yellow striped rose bush 🥰✨

I wanted to give up on this piece a few times through its process, but I’m so glad it came around!

I spent this morning admiring and painting apricotta cosmos in the garden. I loooove these flowers- the plants all range from soft yellow to peach to pink. 🥰

Handmade Dancheong Elephant Trinket Dish 🌸

I’m very excited to share this piece that was inspired by Korean Dancheong found painted on palace and temple buildings.
