Sketchbook Project - Week 22

Happy Monday!  I've been REALLY busy this last week.  I have some exciting things coming up, and I'll be able to share about them soon. I've been preparing for my class  at Crystal Bridges (that starts in a few weeks!) and catching up on pet portrait commissions.

My sketchbook this week is a collection of images that have been inspiring me lately.  Pineapples are everywhere, and though I initially wanted to paint this one, I enjoyed getting some time to work with colored pencils.  I had fun creating some hand sketches, using my own hand as a model.  The watercolor sunset pages came out better than expected.  I used a photo from Instagram as a reference, and I was afraid I might not be able to capture the colors.  But I love the final piece.

I hope you have a great week! As always, you can catch up on previous weeks here.
