24 new colours to unwrap and swatch 🎨

Trying out the 24-colour Ocean Inspired Watercolour Set from Paul Rubens and I had such a good time putting these colours on paper for the first time. So many beautiful blues and greens, but that magenta definitely caught my eye too 👀

This palette was kindly gifted to me by , but this is not a sponsored review and all opinions are completely my own. I’m very particular about what I share here, and gifted or not, I’ll only recommend something if I’ve genuinely enjoyed using it and would be happy spending my own money on it. 🤍

Swatching them was the easy part though… now it’s time to actually paint with them. 🎨

More on that very soon!

Spent five lovely days, from last Thursday through Monday, surrounded by flowers and watercolours 🌸

Like every year, this year too i joined another beautiful flower workshop (Elevate) with Sushma Sushma Hegde and spent the weekend slowly working towards the bouquet in the first slide. Learning from her is always such a joy, and somewhere along the way I seem to have fallen in love with painting flowers all over again. Don’t you think i can ever fall out of love when it comes to flowers haha.

Florals used to be such a comfort zone for me, before I gradually found myself reaching more for architecture, urban landscapes and sketching the places around me. So coming back to flowers after a while felt strangely familiar and very, very happy. ✨

I have a feeling there might be a few more florals making their way onto this page again.

What I saw vs what I painted ✨

Painting the lovely Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. I would have loved to paint this one on location, but watercolours aren’t allowed inside the museum, only pencils! So I took the view home with me instead. 🥹

A little piece of that magical courtyard, painted later from my sketchbook. 💚
