Hi Patrons! 🤍
Here's my latest mermay! 🏰 I wanted to create something fantastical and magical for this piece! I also wanted to try using some bolder colours! 😊🧡
I've uploaded the timelapse videos of the painting here! The second video is after I brightened the image and changed the saturation in Photoshop, then transferred it to Procreate again. I've been using Procreate a lot to paint these mermaids! I find it's a lot easier to create organic shapes and brushstrokes o...

I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend! 🤍🤍
Here’s my latest Mermay inspired by Wes Anderson films, especially Moonrise Kingdom! The new video trend with Wes Anderson has inspired me to create this mermaid travelling across the sea! 🌏 Check to see the essentials she brings in her suitcase! 🧳
Can you spot some of the Easter eggs I added to the essentials painting? 🥰🧜♀️🐟
Thank you all so much ...

I wanted to paint a lovely friendship story between a human and a mermaid. Despite their differences, they’ll always manage to find time to spend moments together! 🥹

I don’t know what it is with the Mermay challenge but I’m always having so much fun with it! I feel less pressured with my brushstrokes because of the time constraint haha

Hey Patrons 🧡
It’s May, which means it’s officially Mermay! 🧜♀️ I just got back from The Netherlands and was very inspired by my trip, so I wanted to paint a mermaid inspired by the streets in Amsterdam! 🧡 I’ll create a longer post about my trip tomorrow! 🫶🥰

I've uploaded the timelapse videos and attached the Photoshop process for this painting!
Lately, with the news of AI, I've been feeling a little discouraged with art. When you see these images produced within seconds, you question your role as an artist.
I l love the process of making art, and that's something they can't take away from me. I love thinking of ideas, creating sketches, and concepts, figuring out the lightin...

Hi everyone 🤍
How are you? I've been quite busy with other projects and tax season 🫣🫣 !
I'm slowly chipping away at this piece! ✏️ I figured I might show you more previews so I can talk a little about my process as I go! I really liked painting "Dark Library" and "The Painter in the Sea" so I wanted to do something similar painting a studio space and trying something with a bit more storytelling. 💕✨
I want to add more details to her w...

Here’s the process for Heart’s Reflection (thanks again, Maris, for the title suggestion!) It’s a pretty straightforward process since most of it started with Procreate. Usually, when I paint on Procreate, I tend to be freer with how I paint and use fewer layers, especially since this painting doesn’t involve too much architecture.
You can watch the first part and the castle process in the timelapse videos. Then I explain the proce...
