Morning Find Sketch
July 2024 Morning Find Sketches
The Morning Find Sketch project is about seeking joy through nature and finding wonder in little things.
In the fall of 2018, I found myself being called to go on long walks through my neighborhood. As I began walking, I started to post Instagram stories of things that caught my eye — a flower, the lake’s waves, the lines of a building. After a few weeks of this, I decided to try not only taking photos and videos of these things but also painting and drawing them in a small sketchbook.
Over the years, I have found that I don’t need to take long walks to find something that piques my interest. I travel through my surroundings with a different perspective each morning, and it has been a wonderful gift. If I give myself a little time and focus, the natural world reveals her magic. I want to bring that magic to you.
These sketches have been piling up in my studio since 2018, but no more! :) Since 2023, I have been creating them on watercolor paper instead of in a sketchbook to make them available for you!
At the end of each month, I will release a new series of sketches. August Morning Find Sketches will be available on Saturday, August 31st at 2 pm CST to my email list and 3 pm CST to the public.* Get an early look at what’s coming by following my sketches on Instagram stories @katelewisart.
You can read more about my project in this and this journal post. I enjoy finding new discoveries in nature around my home in Tennessee. I hope you find the special things in them, too.
