Weekend Sketching

September 29, 2014

Cotton & Flax sketchbook

I spent hours sketching and developing new patterns this weekend, which was such a treat. Normally I use sumi ink, hand carved rubber stamps, or my brush pens to sketch pattern ideas (you can see a glimpse into my sketchbook here), but this time I brought out my watercolors and spent an afternoon painting. I’ve really been drawn to blues and greens lately, especially this dark teal color… something I might return to in the Spring.
