Moving on to brush lettering

I'm starting to really love doing botanical elements when painting. Please excuse how very rough the things I've done here. I'm not truly attentive to details half of the time and I'm almost always really just in a rush to finish and see the final outcome of what I'm doing.

I'm currently revisiting thoughts of opening my etsy shop again because well, holiday season is just around the corner, and I'm always trying out new subjects to paint. I need to be seriously done with postponing ideas (or I could just accept the fact that I'm just plain lazy). I already got a new computer so there is no more excuse.

I thought I needed to learn brush lettering (on my own) because the amazing work I'm seeing on Instagram from super talented lettering artists are truly inspiring. You know that feeling when you see something so beautiful and you think you could do it too, you get all the supplies you need and do it yourself and then you realize... you can't. Haha. But hey, I always think they never became so good the first time they tried. So I'm hoping to be better after a million tries. As long as the fire doesn't die out, I'm willing to do a million tries to be better.

Anyway, here are a few snaps from recent attempts. I'm liking the colors but the details, not so much. I also tried putting up on an acrylic board some artworks I've done in the past. It looked good the first few days but I took it down again because I got sick of looking at them all the time.
