My latest obsession: Skies & Seascapes! 🌊☁️
Remember that comparison I posted recently? It inspired me to dive deeper into painting clouds.

I've never been fully satisfied with the clouds in my paintings before, but I feel like I’ve finally started to understand how to make them work. ✨

I know I still need to focus more on the water and waves next - sometimes they feel a bit left behind compared to the clouds - but that’s a project for another day. Right now, I’m just enjoying the flow and this creative momentum. 🩵

Which sky mood do you like most? The calm blue or the dramatic sunset? Let me know! 👇

November 2022 vs March 2026
I recently stumbled upon a reference photo I knew I had used for a painting before. I thought it would be fun to paint it again and see how differently it would turn out. Once I finished, I found my old painting from four years ago and laid them side by side.

When I painted the first version in 2022, I was quite proud of it. I had joined Learn to Paint with Confidence by in March that year and was already starting to see a big improvement in my skills. I even did a small comparison project on my Instagram, recreating some of my earlier paintings.

Now I can see that this new version - even though it’s just a quick sketchbook piece - is much stronger. The colours are more intentional (back then I think I used mostly phthalo blue for everything), the composition feels better, the clouds have more depth, and the brushstrokes are looser.

But the biggest difference?
This time, I knew what I was doing.
There was no second-guessing, no confusion - just a clear vision, solid skills, and a confident hand.

Looking at these two paintings, I can clearly see how much I’ve improved. But I can also see that the process of improving never really ends - and that’s actually the most exciting part. I can’t wait to see what the next year (or month… or even day) brings.

It’s hard to say I wish I had joined Katie's course earlier, because I signed up just days after it launched - but I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my art journey ❤️

Progress over perfection ✨
Here’s a peek into my sketchbook from last week. After drawing every single day for over a year, I've realized that these simple studies are where the real growth happens.

No second-guessing, just a pencil and a moment of observation. For me, drawing is not just about the final image - it’s a way to train my eyes, to truly learn how to see the underlying structure and values of everything around me.

I use these quiet pencil sessions as a technical foundation for my painting practice. On Wednesday, I'll be sharing my latest acrylic pieces, focusing on transforming these observations into bold, expressive colors! 🎨

Stay tuned to see how the pencilwork informs the brushwork.

Do you find more joy in the quiet precision of a black-and-white sketch or the vibrant energy of acrylics?

I took a few months’ break from painting, so I decided to ease back into it by creating a few small pieces in my sketchbook 🤍

⛰️The mountainscape was the first one - no planning, just having fun. I felt a bit rusty, but it was really nice to be painting again.

🌷The flower paintings are more like practice pieces. I wanted to focus on translating values into colour.

🌸With the cherry blossom, I tried to keep it looser, using fewer brushstrokes and a limited colour palette.

It turned into a really fun exercise - trying to match colours to the values I see made me look more carefully at what’s actually there and how to mix it.

I’ll definitely be doing more of these. It’s such a great practice.

It’s interesting how much you can learn just by really looking ✨

365+ drawings later… and I still can’t quite believe it 🥳

A few days ago I reached one year of my daily sketching habit. In that time I’ve filled two sketchbooks and I’m now almost halfway through my third one.

What started as a challenge slowly became one of the most natural parts of my day. I used to think drawing every day was something only “real artists” could do. Now I can’t imagine my life without it.

Over this past year the way I see things has completely changed. A flower is no longer just a flower, but a collection of shapes, lines, negative spaces and values. I draw quicker and more loosely now, trying to capture the essence rather than getting lost in every tiny detail.

Most of my drawings probably aren’t very good - but those are the most valuable ones. They show me exactly what I still need to improve.

Here are a few sketches from last week 🌸

And here’s to many more years of daily sketching, lots of “meh” drawings, some good ones, a few great ones, and many more filled sketchbooks 🍾🥂
