I just finished another door I was working on before the commissions came in. This is hands down my favorite.
There is still time to book a commission before the holidays, by the way.
In the meantime I’m honing my skills.

While I’m working on commissions, I thought I’d do a super fun practice piece.
I wanted to post something too, as I can’t post the holiday gifts that I’m working on. 😁

These are the tools of the trade. The box of watercolors I work with, the posca pen I add white highlights with, the three main brushes I use and the permanent black ink I draw with.
The ink and pen are from Japan. It’s reay hard to find a truly waterproof ink, but this one is the best.

Now is a great time to think of commissioning works for the upcoming holiday season. Do you have a treasured location? A meaningful cottage, old family home?

Just honing my skills after some time away from painting and drawing. I completed this tutorial today.
I loved the freedom on just doing a doorway. I could be free with the flowers and stonework.

Today I finished this tutorial of a café and I was on the fence of posting it or not.
I wanted to show even when something doesn’t come together there are still good points I think. 😁

I was recently commissioned to do these two pieces.
The first is the church where the client’s husband’s parents got married in South Africa. The second is a school and a famous type of tree that has purple flowers.
Do you have a unique idea for a commission? Feel free to DM me! 😁

Just finished an experimental tutorial, capturing a night time cafe scene.
Did it capture the glowing lights and reflections? Tell me what you think.

One more from the sea creature tutorial that I just completed. A nautilus. Is that eye looking at you or what? 😂
I’m open for commissions. They make a unique gift. 🎁

Now that I finished my commissions, I had time to work a sea creature tutorial.
I absolutely loved working on these cute guys.
Do you have a favorite? I can’t choose. 🤷♀️

A recently completed sketch.
Also, I am still available for commissions, Canada Post is still operating. Just no overtime currently.
Hopefully they won’t mess over small businesses again. 😁

In a recent tutorial I painted some street vendors selling bananas and chocolates. I had a fun time painting the carts and the people too.
I try very hard to be loose and gestural with my studies.
