This week’s theme: Shopping / Today’s Daily Art Prompt: Storefront / Medium: Watercolor / Daily Art Count: 21/100

A cheery little storefront decorated for Christmas. I absolutely love painting buildings. Maybe it’s the engineer in me? Old architecture is so beautiful and ornate. My hometown is the 2nd largest historic district after New Orleans and there’s no shortage of incredible architecture from around the turn of the century.

This building looks as though it’s leaning a bit… i’ve noticed my drawings tend to lean to the right for some reason? Maybe it’s because I’m right-handed. Anyway, I don’t mind. I love the imperfection that watercolor studies allow. As a recovering perfectionist, this is incredibly freeing and healing for me.

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.
