  • Evening #watercolor sketch. I have to show some practice rounds also and failures. I am trying new techniques also I am trying to let go of control and paint super loose. I am not very good at it but I am thinking if I practice every day for the next month maybe I will reach a level I will be proud of. Anyhow practice always makes perfect. I love the peacock blue lately. Practicing florals for a new piece I am planning. Flowers will go in the hair of someone. I am also trying to add the pen lines at the end. It always looks worse before that almost thinking it will never be fixed. #watercolor #illustration_daily #worldwatercolormonth #watercolours #illustration_best #illustration #moreillustrations
  • i have finished my latest #watercolor piece, and it did take a while. I am usually not a patient person, but i did force myself to take a step back. Initially i wanted to bin it, i did not like the trees on the first layers. But it turned out just fine in the end(2 weeks later) I will probably do some more tree research in the future. I need to be able to add texture. Anyway the story is how Arthos, fox like mercenary, and Max wizard and high enchanter first met. They both wanted the secret elixir that is being created only when the forest fairy is blessing the sacred flower. While waiting for the miracle to happen, they were attacked, by the keepers of the groove. anyway long story short, they end up being friends, and go on adventures together. I am really happy with the rocks, i did not know they can be so satisfying. i did mess up the highlights and shadows. but then again, i always do. sometimes i just need to learn to live with the fact that light comes from everywhere :). I hope you like my piece, It is a large one, and i am considering making some prints available. As always i did the water coloring, and helped my hubby with the sketch. But @johanlanning did the #inking and #drawing.We are still struggling to come up with a stage name. #watercolor #illustration_daily #worldwatercolormonth #watercolours #illustration #moreillustrations #illustration_best
  • Having fun using some papers from my stash. I realized I am a hoarder, I have been hoarding all nice papers and all of the kits of the months, and not really using any of them. All those hauls with funny stamps, and I never even used them. Anyway, I have made a decision starting this year, I will use what I have, and not buy anything else until I have used my stash. This sounds like a challenge, and it is, I am assaulted every day with gorgeous designs, but I will do my best. I do not understand why I never used this @mamaelephant awesome stamp set, one I am so much like those cats, second, I love sushi. I paired them with some @timholtzdesigns sentiment strips. I think they were made for each other. I also tried some other funny cat from @timholtzdesigns because there I have another great stamp set, and was gathering dust. #cardmaking #stamping #handmade #greetingcards #cardmakingisfun
  • #naughty and #nice full on Christmas theme or #night and #day ? Which one speaks to you the most #gorjussgirl modifications I love altering stamps. #stamp #illustration #watercolor #lineart #workinprogress #cardmaking #crafting #craftmyartwork
  • Wow it did take a while but finally my #steampunk underwater #submarine awesome girl captain is done. reminds me of the time I was all consumed by Jules Verne. I was soo scared starting on this one because I know @melliwww spent quite some time inking it. But he was like what is the worst thing that could happen... I have to ink this again. Just do it. How I wanted this to be like #rust and metal so I used salt with my watercolors. Also I mixed in some blues and stuff... I think the result is stunning in real life. I did have to add highlights with some metallic colours. But still looks good. For the dress I was not sure if I should add like some flowers or something in the end I left it like that. I mean she would have a lot of more important things to do on a submarine than buy complicated dresses. I have to say the shadows were complicated because I could not decide on the light source. This is it. I used #arches #coldpress paper. #mijellomissiongold and #schmincke watercolors. #watercolor #illustration #dailywatercolor #micron pens for inking. Enjoy.
  • Before the run debating if I should take a jacket or just wait for the first km to get warm.. for some reason I was smiling more after my run. I guess I was happy I got to do arround the lake again after my injury. Anyway my hair has had a wild encounter with the elements. #hardlopen #running #runningmotivation #badhairday
  • After a lot of masking and stamping I got this image I had in my mind for a while now. I wanted a girl kind of resting in a flower garden. Anyway the plan was to frame this but I smudged the white parts thus i cut it to size and made a card. I am please with the coloring I am finally embracing the white. Anyway I also think #gorjuss And #wplus9 are a match made in heaven. Because the flowers are the perfect size... #watercolor #watercolour #cardmaking #dailywatercolor #gorjussgirl
  • It has been almost a year now that I have not touched my craft supplies. They have been gathering dust and every month a new simon says cardkit is joining the box on the desk. I have let fear control me for quite a while. Fear is the killer of minds... fear that what i create noone will like. Fear that it is not good enough not perfect.that I am terrible at coloring and watercolors. Million reasons why. I am not sure how to get back into it. But first attempt is here. Just starting to use what i have i stoped buying anyhow because i am thinking it will just be wasted. Anyhow enough sadness i really like the cards... feels lkike learning the bicicle riding again. #simonsaysstamp #ssscardkit #cardmaking #prettythings #autumblues #watercolor
