Sweet Little Frog

🧑🎨 In this TidBit, I’m showing you how to draw and paint a sweet little frog—simple in form, but big on charm.

I painted him using a mini set of Derwent Inktense Blocks that I curated myself. I tucked individual Inktense pans into a small, Altoids-style tin using tiny paint-pan containers, creating a perfectly portable palette that I absolutely love working from. It’s compact, customizable, and ideal for journaling on the go—and I’ll be sharing more soon on how you can put together a set like this, too.

There’s something magical about how a few simple shapes and colors can spark such an immediate smile. This little frog did exactly that for me. And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a tiny daisy for an extra dose of sweetness—and a smile that lingers just a bit longer.

🐸 Sometimes joy really is that simple.

Ok, here's how you can curate your own travel set that fits into a small, Altoids-style tin... I went ahead and created an Amazon WishList so that all 3 items to purchase are in there, totaling to about $75. Most of that is the set of Derwent Inktense Pans, but please keep in mind that this set can be built with watercolor pans instead! Use your own discretions.

Without further ado, click HERE for that WishList link!
