In this video, I’ll guide you through a relaxing sketchbook warm-up where we explore grass textures. Whether you’re using coloured pencils, watercolour pencils, pastels, or crayons, this is all about playing, experimenting, and having fun in your sketchbook.
This easy tutorial is perfect for easing into your sketchbook practice, loosening up creatively, and learning how to capture the varied textures and colours of grass. No need for fancy materials - just grab whatever greens you already have at home and join me!
