Description Today was a snow day because of the big storm that rolled through the area. While I was enjoying the surprise day off, I had some fun looking through vintage clothes on Etsy. I stumbled across one store called Astral Boutique and had a blast looking through the 1960s and 1970s style dresses that she's selling. I picked out two dresses at a good price, and can't wait for them to arrive in the mail! But really, I just had a good time looking through the photos of the clothes she's selling and wound up doing a sketch based on the fabulous floppy hat that is used in many of the photos.

This was done in my moleskine sketchbook with an archival pigment pen and watercolor paint. I'll keep this in my main gallery for a bit before I move it to my scrapbook .

The splatter is great! I think I'd be too terrified of completely ruining the drawing, but you really made it work!

It looks beautiful!

Question: how do you do watercolors without the paper folding? What kind of paper would you recommend?
