So this weekend I was at my in-laws’ place and I’d brought some coloring supplies to occupy my hands and color whenever the mood struck me. I brought Small Victories and my travel artbag which contained about 10 Inktense pencils, some Distress Crayons as well as a number of gel and paint pens.
I had so much fun playing with my tinted watercolor pencils in this image! Honestly, the muted palette doesn’t translate to photo and the background looks way better in real life.
I’ve been playing around with my tinted watercolor pencils from Cretacolor, Staedtler and Derwent lately. Decided to make a mostly cool-toned vignette on top and a warmer toned vignette on the bottom and tie them together with some earthy brown and mahogany leaves.
I just finished this lovely flower wreath from Small Victories and I’m absolutely obsessed with the serene colorpalette and the little details. My favorite part is the shimmering background, which was made with Distress Crayons.
Practicing shading on rounded flowers, as well as making a soft gradient background.
