This is my first rose, and also the first time I did a pencil outline and then watercolored it in (versus my usual pen and ink sketches filled in with watercolor). I’m happy with it; I sketched it standing in my neighbor’s garden. They’re total sweethearts and gave me previous permission to draw their flowers. Hollie Happily Haunts Your Flowerbeds. Greg sat on our porch across the street. We’d just had a great talk about some of my chronic illness issues (which are still unfun, but the painting helps a lot). Art journaling is my forever jam.
