I love that pop of pink, and the chartreuse is perfect. 💚💕

Thank you, I agree two great colors!

Another cute one! I loved your comment about “starting in the middle.” I hadn’t thought about that. Thank you! Boy you are optimistic about “Repainting “ at the end of this year long journey! Dare I say a wee bit crazy!? 🤪 lol. 🖌️

But it will be so interesting to see the change 🤪
I just hope I can stick to the plan 😂

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, because I absolutely love your art. But what I noticed is that you often don’t draw horizontal lines long enough (for example your door) and the diagonal lines (eg the doorstep) at the wrong angle. I am wondering if you are holding your reference and/or your paper at the wrong angle to make these lines look ‘wrong’? But regardless, the end result is gorgeous so maybe it doesn’t really matter, I am just a perfectionist so these things kinda bother me.

[@KarenJohnsonArtist]

I haven't taken it the wrong way but it is a loose sketch so maybe being a perfectionist this isn't your cup of tea. I do paint photo realism in oil so this is a nice change for me not to be so perfect.
Thank you for your help and I will try to pay attention to those details in the future.

Are you using hot press water color paper and an EF nib? Beautiful work ☺️
