Painting Textures and patterns

I’ve been having fun experimenting with textures, patterns and scenes in my sketchbook lately.

Some of my scraps were fun to turn into a sunrise, sunset, clouds floating through the sky or a winter scene.

Water is one of my favorite things so I loved painting water scenes like this bookmark and postcard.

Sometimes I just like to spread around lots of paint and turn the page into something cool with a few marks using white gouache.

I really enjoy this process of making art where there’s no pressure and no destination, just meditatively dipping my brush into water and then paint and swirling into onto the page. It’s also fun to have a few pieces going at the same time so I can keep going while waiting for one to dry.
