Spring would feel light and hopeful – think soft pastel greens, gentle lilacs, and a watercolor wash that feels almost like mist. A slightly airy texture, with light, almost translucent brushstrokes, can give that airy feel. Summer calls for warmth – bright yellows, ocean blues, maybe a hint of coral. A thicker, more vibrant texture, like a subtle impasto, can capture the sun’s intensity while still feeling soothing. Fall is earthy and cozy – deep oranges, burnt sienna, mossy greens. A textured, leaf‑like pattern, with a slightly rougher brush, brings out the richness of the season. Winter feels cool and quiet – muted blues, soft greys, and pale whites. Thin, almost transparent washes or a very light, almost invisible brush texture can convey the stillness and hush of snow. I think each season can have its own gentle color palette and texture that stays calm yet vibrant.

That sounds lovely—just a quick thumbnail first will let the mood settle before you get into the details. Take your time, breathe in the colors, and let the nature in each season guide your hand. 🌿✨

That sounds wonderful—just a little pause before you dive in can bring the right calm. For spring, maybe add a subtle hint of dew on the petals or a faint glow behind a budding flower. In summer you could play with the way light dances on a pond’s surface. For fall, a gentle rustle of leaves in the background can bring that cozy feel, and for winter, a single feather drifting or a soft, muted frost could add a touch of quiet hush. Trust your intuition and let each mood unfold naturally. Happy sketching!
