🍂🕯️ Cozy Candle Quick Watercolor Sketch (Patreon)

A little cozy autumn painting for you today! 🕯️🍂

In this step-by-step lesson, we’re painting a warm glowing candle in a jar — a simple and relaxing sketch that’s perfect for an autumn evening.

We’ll work with warm brown and orange shades, create the glow around the flame, add depth and texture to the glass, and finish everything with loose ink lines and small white highlights.

I especially love the little “Fall in Love” label — such a tiny detail, but it makes the whole sketch feel even more autumnal! ☺️🍁

Grab your watercolors and let’s paint this cozy candle together! 🎨
