On The Grid

I’ve been working on these botanical studies the last day or so! I want to start a wild flower illustration project so I started practicing with some Wild Rose and Wood Anemone studies. I’m really happy with how they came out! 💕#artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #fineliner #botanicalillustration #natureillustration
More floral experiments! The one on the left is based on Russian folk art and was done with gouache, the one on the right is another ink sketch! I’m having a lot of fun and learning a lot while I play around with different mediums and styles! 🙌🏻✨#artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #pentalbrushpen #gouache #folkart #russianfolkart
I’ve been playing around with more black and white florals again! The one on the left was done with ink and the one on the right was done with gouache. I love really loose and expressive brush strokes but I think I’m putting too much pressure on getting the most perfect “loose and expressive” marks... which defeats the idea entirely! 😂 I think I might have to have a play with mark making on some scrap paper so I can really loosen up!#artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #botanicalillustration #natureillustration #cornishartist #gouache #pentalbrushpen #markmaking
More rough ink sketches! I was able to sit in the garden and draw from life instead of a photo which was super nice! I’m hoping that we’ll get more sunny weather so I can do this more! 😍✨ #artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #pentalbrushpen
I decided to do my sketches in ink this time, I really like how expressive ink looks! Just some random nature doodles on the left and then a sketch of the swan constellation, Cygnus, on the right! 🦢✨ #artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #ink #pentalbrushpen
I’ve always struggled to draw birds but after having lots of visits from House Sparrows and seeing some wild Goldfinches for the first time, I was inspired to try again! I spent a long time getting the base shapes and proportions right with a 5H pencil and then went in with my favourite 8B pencil! I also decided to sketch some Blackthorn branches and Wild Roses since I spotted them in the garden too! 😍🌿💕 #artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #artjournalpage #artjournalspread #artjournals #visualjournal #visualjournaling #creativelifehappylife #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #creativejournaling #getmessyartjournal #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #sketches #sketchbookclub #graphite #natureillustration #botanicalillustration
