I’ve been keeping my word to myself and continuing to complete past watercolor lessons that I’ve purchased but never actually went through. This is another one from Sergei Kurbatov from Enterclass.

Reflections in watercolor can be painted in may ways. There is no ‘right’ way, if you ask me - just your own stylistic preference. I prefer painting abstract over realistic. I love allowing the beauty of watercolors to really show through in this area of the painting by using wet-on-wet techniques.

This was my first attempt at the painting for March’s Paint With Me Challenge. I knew it was going to be hard because people who had already painted and submitted their work told me so! Yikes! They were right - what was I thinking when I picked this photo? Honestly, I have no idea.

According to my mom, I’m not the best at painting flowers. And she’s not wrong. I have yet to find my stride when it comes to painting botanicals. But I know if I really wanted to find it, I could. But it will take some practice - which is what I’m sharing in this post.

I purchased this watercolor lesson on Enterclass by Sergei Kurbatov sometime in 2019 and I never actually went through it. I have admired Sergei’s style for a while and since I already enjoy painting loose, I was excited to finally sit down and practice using this lesson as a guide.

Starting my first page in this sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project!
I was gifted a sketchbook from The Sketchbook Project in 2019 by my good friend Jisun. I didn’t fill it out. So I decided the first personal art project I wanted to complete in 2020 would be to finally complete this sketchbook and send it back.
The Sketchbook Project is a crowdfunded sketchbook museum located in Brooklyn, New York. There are currently over 47,000 sketchbooks located in the library, which anyone can visit. How amazing is it that you can check out the books and hold other people’s art in your own hands? I hope I get to visit one day!
This below video documents the start of my sketchbook. In it, I explain the theme of my book: smile along with what I plan to (or think I’m planning to) create in it.
I’ll make sure to share a tour of the book after I’m done. Wish me luck!
