This week’s theme: Winter / Today’s Daily Art Prompt: Candle / Medium: Watercolor / Daily Art Count: 14/100

Getting back to more realistic and less abstract subjects this week. I’ve always felt drawn to realism in my art, but it sometimes felt rigid and forced. Making a loose watercolor representation of something real just feels good to me. It seems to add life and movement to an otherwise inanimate object. This feels very authentic to me and seems like something to pay attention to in watching for my own signature style to emerge.

Join me as I work to make art for 100 days, following the daily art prompts inside Bonnie Christine’s Flourish Membership. Each week has a theme with 7 prompt words within that theme. Flourish is a monthly membership for artists and designers, opening in May and October of each year. Want to learn more? Check it out at surfacepatterndesigners.com/flourish.
