Weekly Sketch #2 - Watercoloring a Bookstore with Mixed Media Details

Welcome back to Week 3 of the #WeeklySketch series 🎨
In this video, we’re taking our wonky bookstore sketch and bringing it to life with watercolor, graphite, and a few favorite mixed media tools.

This is a relaxed, real-time painting session where we:

💜 layer watercolor washes
💜 use graphite for shading and depth
💜 loosen things up with pens and paint markers
💜 embrace imperfections (and happy accidents!)

✨ You don’t need fancy supplies — just curiosity and a willingness to play.
