Drawing Perspectives 
I’m so glad to see that you have come up for air and are painting! It took me 4 months to get the engine going again myself, but I wasn’t writing a book. I was just being lazy.

Ha, I hear ya, KC! I can’t believe it’s been this long. I’ve been working on this book full time since April, and I still have tons to do…but it’s gonna be a good one!!! 😉
Glad you got your engine going again too…it’s tough! Lazy sounds about right to be honest.

It looks like an amazing shop, my all time favourite watercolour paints. And I am really looking forward to your new book Stephanie, add to my collection, for more amazing inspiration. Enjoy the day in the shop on Sunday, I’m a bit too far away to visit (oh and we are still in lockdown, here in New Zealand).

Very nice sketch, Stephanie. Can you give an estimate how long this took and what size it is? Anticipating forthcoming details about your book!

Hi John, thank you for writing! I’m so glad that you like this sketch. I’d say it took between 1.5 – 2 hours in total, and the size is 8″x16″, so it’s quite large. But it’s a size of paper I’ve grown to like, and proportionally, it’s 2 squares side-by-side.
I’ll put the word about the book out to the world once I get permission from the publisher!
