Sketches of potted succulents

Posted on by Amy Lamp in art and design

During my daily drawing practice I discovered how fun it is draw little sketches of potted succulents, especially with a dip pen. I like using this subject as a way to explore hatching with the dip pen. It has a really satisfying scratching quality on the paper.

Adding quick watercolor washes to these little sketches helps them look more fun and colorful.
