I’m kind of on a wildflower doodling kick these days and I’ve been obsessively painting every flower that comes to mind with my new gouache brushes! This week is a much more freestyle approach than many of my other recent vids – we’re painting from memory, making adjustments on the fly and positioning things wherever we feel they fit best. We’ll lean on instinct a lot, but I explain everything as we go along 🙂

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 🙂
