What are some of the things you think about when thinking of Summer? For me, it’s cocktails, bright-coloured flowers, and the sweet sweet smell of coconut. So I thought for July’s theme, why not infuse all those scents and flavours together?
I thought it would be fun to include Margaritas since I’ve recently learned how to make them. Aside from Tequila Sunsets, Margaritas scream Summer and relaxation. So, they were a perfect fit for the vibe I was hoping to achieve.
I wanted to use bright pastel colours to help reflect my idea of Summer. As always, I love using a limited colour palette, so I chose to use blues, yellows, pinks, and green hues.
I went with tropical-themed flowers because they're wonderfully colourful flowers and they’re always fun to draw.
One of the last details I included were coconuts and limes. One of my favourite all-time favourite smells is the scent of coconut. I know, weird right? Most people associate that scent with tanning lotion. And of course, I do too, but it really just brings back fond memories for me. Not at all disliked! Quite fitting for a Summer theme once again. The limes are there as an extension of the Margaritas and to help compliment the rest of the composition.
