Quote – It Takes Time…
Coffee or tea for you?
I drank a lot of tea while making this piece. I love this quote by @vera.drmanovski and wow, her zine and Floral Fusion brushes are AMAZING!
Vera’s work is highly decorative and intricate and I used as many details as I could (and I know I can still add some) She has a tutorial to guide you!
If you haven’t yet, definitely check out Vera’s episode on the Joyful Journey podcast (link in bio) and her zine and brushes.
In her zine, Vera has 10 tips for decorative artwork, all in one place. The tips and info are great and the brushes are so much fun! Honestly, you’ll be drawing forever, haha.
Creating pieces does take a long time but with her brushes, you can speed up the process and get things done quicker. And they’re so cute.
