It’s a busy week with the first Foundations livestream this morning (so much fun!)… so just a quick post today with yesterday’s AM coffee sketch.
I’ve sketched this building so many times, but it was fun to use watercolour pencil for a change!
A photo of the first layer of watercolour pencil before adding watercolour.
Note: I decided to use some turquoise (Cobalt Green) lines to outline some of the cream elements and enjoyed using this technique. Turquoise always makes me happy!
Here is a photo of my 6-colour palette and my coffee – the large sketchbook is a useful table! 🙂

Such a great example, with the use of your favorite turquoise, to keep our sketches joyful. This one really feels that way.
Thanks Kimberly!
How did you get that cream color from your palette? Very useful!
