Studio Log : Floral Studies

Behind the Scenes
Written By Ronee K Parsons
Sketchbook sits askew, held open with clips, it is painted with a sepia color, and a sketch of florals, colored pencilsa nd paint tubes lay along sides.

Continuing with my new sketchbook habit, with a few tweaks. I have narrowed back down to one book at a time for this kind of experimenting, the Etchr brand with heavy paper. I’ve learned that as much as I want to paint fast, each layer does take some time, so I’ve given myself space for that - instead of requiring that I finish in the 45 minute block, I can sketch throughout the week and paint throughout the weekend as I have time. This has been nice, it has brought me back to painting more regularly which was a goal.

I stuck to focusing on florals. This month doing a composition of Forget-me-nots, and one of Nasturtiums.
