Hi Patrons,

Finally, a new illustration ! 🌞

I took some pictures while painting but I couldn't take too many because I was recording the process with my phone at the same time.

This is the first step : I print out the sketch I did on my iPad and trace it with a light box on watercolor paper (I use Canson XL Watercolor paper).

Some progress on the flowers - as you can see there are 4 layers of colors here, and I ended up adding more along the way ! I usually don't plan ahead how detailed the final painting will be.

I had so much fun painting the vase ! I have to admit, this illustration was an excuse to paint a beautiful vase. I've been willing to paint one in a long time, and planned on doing another illustration that completes this one - a mermaid in a Greek vase πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

As you can see I used a limited color palette - beige, red, coral and blue.

The vase is based on an actual vase, I can't find the image I used but it looked a lot like this one - I wanted the pattern to look accurate and harmonious !

Here's the final painting :

Details !

Now my question is : what should I name it ?
1/ Haven
2/ Resting
3/ Safe Place / Happy place

Let me know what's your favorite in the comments or if you have better ideas for a title  ! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

This is the sketch for the second vase illustration that I'll probably start painting this week :

Hope you'll like it !!
