Hi all! Today I have an extra video that will hopefully put you in the artsy mood!
My friend Darby, who you've met before in our IRL Art Trade video, and I went to our local botanical center and drew from life! It was SO HUMID but it was so much fun!! We got to see some pretty sweet plants and flowers, and some REALLY big fish (that we also got to feed, hehe). We had made plans to go to the botanical center, but I don't think either of us had any idea how much fun we would have!
We went on the most humid day, and there was no difference between the climate controlled indoor area and the gardens outside, but it was one of the best real life drawing experiences I've ever had! We had some awesome chats and we relaxed to the sounds of birds, bees buzzing, and trickling water from the ponds and child play areas! And yes, we did go play in the kids area...don't judge.
After scoping out the place, we picked out the best spots for our sketching adventures! We saw all kinds of bugs and succulents, especially succulents <3, and by the end of our time there we each had at least a page full of sketches and we ended up buying two succulent babies so they can be pen pals when Darby goes away to art school. I propagated mine because it was growing incorrectly, and she named hers Peedee!
Overall, we had a pretty cool day! But enough of that, here's the video showing you all of it!
