A Trader Joe's bouquet in an old Mason jar caught the morning sunlight on my breakfast table, and called out to be sketched.
I started with a Lamy fountain pen sketch, then touched in watercolor washes and splashes to finish the scene. Quick and uplifting.
For this project, I used a paper sample booklet I bought for a quarter at the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse, my favorite thrift shop. You can find out more about them here: https://pccr.org/
Playing with an art supply that was saved from the trash adds a lovely sparkle to the creative experience. When I have an excess of materials, I enjoy sharing them with other artists by donating them to the PCCR.
If you're in the Pittsburgh area, I recommend a field trip to the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse!
Happy Thrifting and Happy Creating!
