Just a little glimpse into some of my workflow 🙂 we never use AI, or stock images to inform our colours; it’s all shot by us. I’m not saying these are invalid ways to work… they’re just not my way.

Since I’ve got severe arthritis, I try to limit my sugar (it causes flare ups, which I know, because mostly I fail lol). However, you gotta have limits, right? So I was unwilling to purchase one of every flavor of ice cream I wanted to shoot.

In cases like this, I often work it out in watercolour. This lets me play a bit, and narrow down what I want.

And because I’m human… I’ll still go eat my favourite one (caramel crunch!).

Shown here are some of my favourite tools, including my sketchbook, my Lumos, my paints and my brushes 🙂
