Description SO. My dad hates it when my brother and I chill in our rooms too much because that must mean we're on the computers wasting our brains away. So he made us put our comps away and kicked us our of our rooms for the afternoon. Since i was refless and didn't have any of my commissions at a point that I could work on them without my comp...I was kinda lost for what to do.

SO. If you know me I LOATHE drawing/working on art where people could see anyways. But I figured an atc would be easy to work on and hide if I needed to. So i cut out some watercolor paper atc size, grabbed my supplies and sat on the uberly comfortable concrete steps outside my front door and painted. I've had this image in my head, mind you the one in my head was a bit different from how it turned out, but the idea was the same. I'm happy C: Reffed the nasturtium plants in the garden in front of my house. I really liked doing this, might make a series. I have always loved nasturtiums the flowers are spicy tasty too.

I was gonna make it a tutorial....I took pic until i started painting...and then I was suddenly done painting without taking another picture OTL.

2.5x3in winsor&newton cotman watercolor and gel pen on strathmore coldpress paper. About 1.5-2 hours. It appears bigger on your screen than it is irl.

For sale for $10. Note me if you want it. The words were added in PS but if bought I'll be writing the same thing/way on it in brown ink. I'll be really sad to see this one go if someone buys it Q_Q but I'll part with it to pay back my parents OTL This card was traded for a card from .

Oh, I love this! It's so dear - especially the leaves. I have nasturtiums growing in a hanging planter for my roommate this year (she adores them) and those leaves are very much like staring outside to look at the plants. Well done!

Also I love the tragic look of the girl. She just looks so slighted - it's very cute.
