🖌 i like to paint on rocks
💗 love romance books
🎨 learning the art of the clinch
✨️ bosnian/yugoslav
These are some romance books l painted on rocks, wooden bookmarks, and ornaments.

I'm really happy how they turned out! The bookmarks and ornaments take a bit longer to paint, but l think they are worth that extra time.

Introducing my first ever Romance Book Barbie Doll!!🪡💗🧵

Many years ago, l discovered the existence of that epic Jude Deveraux Barbie doll set, and l've always wanted to try my hand at making a romance book inspired Barbie doll.

For my first attempt, l picked Codename Charming by Lucy Parker.

Thank you, that's such a nice compliment to hear!

I learned early on to never start off painting with the exact colour/shade. The best way l have found is to build up the colours gradually in layers until l reach the right shade (like in the picture below). The colours just build up nicer this way.

I feel like for simplified art like these covers, the linework would be much cleaner and have a purpose? Like in the cover below, the other side of the lip is not finished, the pupils are not rounded, the eyelashes on one side have been forgotten, and the lines on that outer eye are much thicker.

I noticed the other day that since l started painting, l appear to have a yearly romance book tradition l *highly* approve of: painting Preacher on to a different surface each year😃
