Spring Seeds 0123

Inspiration

I’m working through Stephanie Kiser Coleman’s Spring Seeds class. She’s working in gouache; I’m working in digital gouache in Procreate and watercolor. My gouache brushes are Realistic Gouache brush set by Liz Kohler Brown.

• Sketchbook Seeds: Spring class by Stephanie Fizer Coleman, which closed Friday, May 3. The course is part of her community [ with free and paid parts] — The Artist’s Greenhouse.
• Liz Kohler Brown’s Realistic Gouache Brushes

Progress

As Steph demonstrates her gouache technique, I look through Liz’s Realistic Gouache set for a brush that fits the stroke Steph makes. Sometimes I need to adjust the size of the brush in the settings when Steph uses a huge brush; sometimes I adjust the size of the brush as I paint the stroke with the sidebar sliders in Procreate.

I liked the bunny lesson so much, I made the results into a pattern and created a kids greeting card [Above, top].

I’ve worked through three of the lessons so far:

Daffodils. This lesson looks hard for real watercolor. We’ll see how I do! I’m enjoying moving from both digital and watercolor.

May the Fourth Be With You!
