SKETCHBOOK TOUR: My Food Drawings! BRUNCH Edition

As I choose what to paint, I try to envision what products or patterns I want to create. I had an idea for a brunch themed greeting card & invitation suite and started brainstorming all of my favorite brunchy foods. Eggs, bagels, coffee, muffins, etc.

My process involves collecting several different styles of photographs to use as reference photos. I focus on color and shape variation, and make sure I have at least 6 of any given theme before I paint.

From there, I prepare sketches all at once so that when I have energy to paint, I can just get right to it.

Materials used: Sketchbooks- various sizes by Hahnemuehle, 100% Cotton, Cold Press Watercolor- Holbein Palette- Plate from Daiso USA Brushes- Size 12 Golden Taklon by Artsmith Pencil- the Natural by Blackwing White Ink- Kuretake Zig
