Holiday botanical painting

I have a little holiday watercolor and ink sketch to share today.

Happy Thursday, friends! 💚

 

I started out playing with a simple watercolor border of branches, twigs, and berries.

Then I decided it would be fun to add a little ink sketching on top.

 

I outlined some leaves in ink and added a few more twigs and bits to fill things in.

The ink seems to pull it all together. I always enjoy the final sketching phase and try to play and have fun. I just have to be mindful of when to stop. That’s always the hardest part.  😁

 

Just one last thing, adding a holiday message… Ok, much better now. 🎄

I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love.

Until next time, share a smile and shine on!
