Kensington Market sketch meetup. It was so fun to reconnect with familiar faces and a few new ones! The Sunday vibes were feeling just right 😊

Messy sketches, figuring out potential new composition ideas. Kids are excited to go back to school, but there is so much newness - new friends, new lessons. Sometimes they seem quite lost. It's amazing to watch confidence grow and to be a support in that growth.

Another #kidlitartpostcard 🌻

This little scene was sitting in my sketchbook for ages. Painting animal characters is so fun! I am excited to get into some autumn themed illustrations throughout the month.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!

I am an illustrator working in traditional watercolour and gouache. I love painting subjects inspired by moments and memories outdoors.

Seeing all the posts by people at the Urban Sketching Symposium gave me a little FOMO. A day in Rotterdam with my artsy friend Zeynep, with good talks, tasty food, and sketching together, cured me of it.
What can you do this week to spark creative connections close to home?

This was such a fun exercise to loosen up with character/ shape creation. Minimal and confident marks - it's interesting how little detail you have to add to bring a shape to life. #kidlitart #studies

Sketching under the watchful eye of a Cormorant. He kept diving, floating towards me, drying his wings and then swimming again. This bird knew how to relax! #urbansketching @usktoronto.bsky.social @urbansketchers.bsky.social

Making more blobs to cope with my partner leaving for 2 weeks 😭. Kinda love making these right now. #kidlitart #gouache #emotionalcopingblobs

Playing with shapes.. and colour. I might add in details, but leaving them blank somehow feels more exciting because there are more open possibilities?

What should these blobs be? What do you see?
