Watercoloring: a snowy day so simple yet looks so nice.

Sketching: like this one though proportions look a bit off.

Watercoloring: I have been using too much water or something else that’s making the paint seep under the tape lately. I do love the colors on this though.

Sketching: this one was rushed as I was waiting for my wonderful husband to come home from his trip. I haven’t found a really good class in learning how to sketch. I’ve taken many in perspective or other technical aspects but I need someone who can hold my hand a bit better and inspire me the way @thiswritingdesk has for watercolors. If you know of anyone I’d love a link so I can go learn. In the meantime, I use Pinterest and keep practicing.

Watercoloring: moonlight in the forest. I would never be able to make these without @thiswritingdesk and her classes and encouraging voice. If you’re even remotely interested in watercolor landscapes go the her classes, sign up for her 10-day challenges (they are free!) I recommend her to everyone because she’s the best and kindest teacher I’ve found.

Lettering: another beautiful snippet from another beautiful @lizelayne email for her #sidebyside2023 class. She alternates between stories and inspiring links and both are equally tender and inspiring and joyful for me. I wake up every morning and lie in bed as I read her beautiful words and start my day with her grace and the space she creates. I’m grateful for it every morning. I’ve taken several of her five things and tell it classes so I’ve spent a lot of my year waking up to Liz’s words and it’s been a gift.

Lettering: today’s lettering comes from a quote by lau tzu I loved the sentiment around soft being strong.

Watercoloring: roads are always hard for me but I am working on it. Love making and seeing wide expansive skies.
