Sketch Date in the English Countryside | Come Draw With Us + Retreat Announcement

Welcome to a little online sketch date 🌿 My friend Natalia and I sat down to draw together, chat, and share something exciting: my very first art retreat is happening this September, and we sketched three reference photos straight from the venue. Same scenes, two completely different styles. Come draw with us 🧡 We did three timed sketches: 10 minutes, 9 minutes, and 7 minutes.
