I’m excited to share this one with you- we’ll be working on a simple, relaxed line and wash piece that’s perfect for beginners.
I’ll walk you through my full 3-phase process step-by-step, starting with a simple pencil sketch, moving into pen and ink, and finishing with watercolor.
This is a great project if you’re looking to build confidence with freehand sketching, get more comfortable with your pen work, and practice essential watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry in a low-pressure way.🙌✨
Hope you enjoy this one and find it super helpful. 💛
