Plein Air ☼ Sketchbook Day

✿ H e l l o! ✿
I spent the day painting in my sketchbook at the botanical gardens with my pals Liv and Lucy.
No talking, just smooth jazz and juicy painting shots.

One of my favorite things about you is how you play with color so freely and expressively. It gives me courage to do the same.

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you! Colour is my faaaavourite

[@guillermolema9648]

I LOVE how you work in negative space. It’s something I’ve never been super good at but it has such a charming look, especially with all those gorgeous colours peeking through. This looks like it was such a fun and chill day; your friends are such fabulous artists too! I really enjoyed those glimpses over their shoulders with Liv’s incredible linework and Lucy’s beautiful study. They seem like great craic too!
Also that watercolour looks so vibrant actually, the pinks are so lovely! Also also, I’m always so enamoured with how well you fill in your pages; it looks like a beautiful botanical Tetris. XD It’s a fabulous spread Sophie! Thanks for sharing. ❤

Thank YOUUU Constance!!! ❤❤❤ Going out and drawing/painting with friends is my favourite way to spend time with people. The social pressure is much less, my hands and mind are busy with paint, sometimes there's no talking, sometimes there is a lot of talking and sniggering, nature, walks, just perfection!

It’s amazing !!!

[@creativewah]

Love these! I want to come paint with you!

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

So lovely and calm! I hope you don't mind, but I had to snap a few screenshots of this gorgeous footage so I can doodle in my own sketchbook! I cannot wait to visit gardens when the weather warms up a bit more here in the northern hemisphere!

[@SophieMcPike]

Oh of course!! Haha d love to see them if you feel comfortable to share one day!!
The weather is still treating us with lovely soft warm days, all I want to do is go outside and paint 🌼

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

@@SophieMcPike Making art outdoors is the BEST🤗so enjoy and soak it up while ya can! And thanks for the “okay” on using your images as reference for my doodle practice ✨ I’ll be sure to share in the discord when I get them scribbled!

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

just a buncha cuties havin' some cute art times! so lovely!

[@SpottedJournal]

Awww art date! Do you ever get too carried away with what you are saying you stop painting... ? Its a skill.. to talk but also keep the hands moving. As usual love the vibes of your videos and art 💛

[@SophieMcPike]

Absolutely!! We blether a lot! But we all just caught up a day before this so it was mostly concentrated smiley focus quietness with silly little interjections of chatter. :)

[@SpottedJournal]

​@@SophieMcPike that's a great idea, one day for chats, another day for chill and art. If only i had more art friends closer. It was lovely to see Lucy and Liv's creations too 💛

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Beautiful. Relaxing. Peaceful.

The way you work with negative space is so nice! I want to try that. It seems so fun to fill in the little corners and spaces, hehe.

[@SophieMcPike]
