DESIGN LEARNING
Ok, I know summer is coming to an end (I’m probably in the minority here, but I’m not ready!) and we’ve had the sweetest little wild strawberries growing by the country roadside in Georgia, so this is me clinging onto what’s left of the season in one last summer-ish tutorial. Plus, how cute and delicious does this little gem of a berry look?! 🍓 (Don’t worry, I’ve got brand new fall tuts in the queue – they’re on their way!)
6 months ago, I bought myself my first baby fiddle leaf fig tree and I’m in love with it! It’s definitely more at ‘plant’ status than tree right now, but if it ends up looking anything like the source photo we’re using this week (guessing in 2-3ish years), I’ll be thrilled. Might have to get it a sibling 😉
This week, we’re painting a fiddle leaf fig tree in the flat gouache painting style by referencing a source image, but making it our own by establishing a limited palette and painting everything based on a sketch layer. If you’re new to digital painting, or are thinking about taking my new Gouache Botanicals in Procreate course, this is a good introduction to the flat style and creating layers of large overlapping color to simulate depth with a few bold details popped in 🙂
