starting my very first sketchbook! ✿ hand-painted watercolor flowers and gouache spreads

This is an exciting update I've been thinking about for a long time! I'm so excited to have a sketchbook I can use to experiment and play and not take too seriously. I'm using the Talens Art Creation Sketchbook (13x21cm) and I'm really psyched to see what I'll create 🙌🏼

I can't wait to do a bunch of master studies and to just mess around in here. I have a big goal of painting 3-4x per week in March (which isn't always easy since I'm balancing a non-art-related/STEM job with my artwork!), so I'm hoping to break out my sketchbook a lot these days. I'm a bit intimidated by the fact that this sketchbook has 80 pages... but I guess it just means there's lots of room to play!
