Many of you asked about this coconut reference and I really liked it too, so since it didn’t make it into the Summer Sketchbook Spread, I decided to create a separate lesson just for it! šŸŽØāœØ

This Friday we’ll paint this bright and summery coconut drink with a tropical flower — a light and joyful subject, perfect for a summer mood.

I’ll show you how to work with watercolor washes, add details and keep your sketch looking fresh and effortless.

✨ This lesson is suitable for everyone, even if you’re just starting out or only have limited time for creativity. Its bright colors will definitely lift your spirits!

šŸ’› To help me support you better in future lessons, I’d love it if you could share in the comments: what watercolor brands do you usually use when painting along with my lessons?

This will help me suggest easier color substitutions and give you more helpful advice on choosing colors right in the lessons. I’m really looking forward to your replies! šŸŽØ

So beautiful and vibrant! Dare I say pink and green is the most joyful combo? I purchased the Van Gogh pocket set + MG azo orange based on Ink & Watercolor, but I have lots of Daniel Smith colors and can get those easily where I live as well as Winsor & Newton. I have Schmincke as well but those aren’t available locally. I usually grab my Mijello Mission Gold 12 pan set for its simplicity. I added a dot of Yellow Ochre and Diox. Purple so I’m ready for most everything. 🄰 As long as I have the brand and the name of the pigment, I can use Under the Brush to make any matches…

Hi Anastasia!!! It’s so beautiful!!! I’ve watercolor Winson & Newton (12 colours)

Lisa Bowden

Wow, thanks for mentioning Under the Brush! I hadn’t heard of it. Not quite sure how to use it, guess I’ll have to play around!

Lisa Bowden

Anastasia, for Christmas I asked for your book (LOVE IT!!!) and the Van Gogh set you use. I also have some other paints such as Daniel Smith, W & N, M. Graham, Sennelier, etc.

Lisa Bowden

I love that new palette you’re using! What kind is it? I wasn’t able to find it.

Thank you!ā˜ŗļø Do you mean the pallets in a black metal box? It’s my palette with selected expanded colors and if it is interesting for Patreon members I can do a video about it: what are the colors and how I selected themšŸŽØ Or do you mean the box itself? It’s the watercolor box from Jackson’s that you can buy separately without watercolors✨

So great to hear that, Kara — thank you! šŸ’› And yes, I totally agree — the ā€œUnder the Brushā€ website is such an amazing tool! I’m glad it’s helpful for matching pigments across brands!

Lisa Bowden

Sorry for not being clear! The ceramic palette you’re using to mix the colors. šŸ¤—

Lisa Bowden

Yes, I would love a video on your particular colors!

Cassandra

I’m mostly using Windsor Newton professional series

It’s an amazing little tool! When I first started painting, I didn’t realize that names could be different for the same pigment numbers depending on the brand. This will help you match up brands and pigments so you can see what you have on hand that will work as a substitute for your projects. Happy painting and experimenting!

I second Lisa! I love your book so much!
