A sunset from 30,000 feet & painted at 30,000 feet! ✈️ ☀️
A little backstory - bare with me 😅
Every holiday I write my kids a letter a day to sum up the holiday and the memories. I love reading them back, but half of them still live on my phone as it’s hard to find the time to get them out onto paper.
Then, a few weeks ago I was picking up a few supplies in Hobbycraft for an art commission when I saw this little book and it got me thinking…
When I was at university I used to take a sketchbook with me everywhere… I love life drawing and capturing moments quickly, no overthinking, just pure observation and bringing it to life on a page... What if I could somehow combine these two things to make something really special?
So this holiday I’ve challenged myself to paint one postcard a day while I’m away. A holiday moment captured in a life drawing rather than picture - drawn and painted quickly in the moment… And write out my letters to my kids on the postcards rather than my phone.
Not gonna lie, I’m going to L.O.V.E the chance to paint and write these, but finding the time with two children is going to be interesting! Let’s see how I do! 💪
