Waterfall

Came across a picture of a waterfall which was probably done in low light. I thought it looked cool and I tried using it as inspiration for a quick pastel sketch.

I used her tutorial watercolour brushes and the flower sketch provided.

Ferry Doodles - Trees

Passing some time on the ferry by trying to remember and practice some techniques used during the various Julier tutorials. In particular, the select, copy and flipping functions with the trees 😊 Used the default brushes.

I look forward to finding more of these smaller theatre companies to enjoy and support.

Thus I went back to the source of my current watercolour brushes for a quick refresher.

A short Bardot tutorial on how to use her brushes, will probably have to repeat it before it fully sticks 😊. She did have an orange sketch, but I missed it and ended up just drawing along freehand. Behold an 🍊
