🎨 Brushes + Updates 🎨

Happy Friday Patrons! 🧑

I hope you're all having a great day so far! I'm almost finished creating the brushes for you which will be available for download here! I will upload it this weekend! πŸ₯°

In the meantime, I want to show you previews of the brushes! A lot of these brushes contain textures since I am a big fan of that painterly look. These brushes are customized to how I usually paint my scenes, landscapes, and characters. 🎨

I'm going to be posting a reel on my ...

Love Always βœ‰οΈβœ¨- Process

Hi Patrons! πŸ’›

I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! 

I finished painting "Love Always" yesterday! ✨

This was quite a challenging piece since I was struggling with how I wanted to depict the lighting. The setting was loosely based on Gallery Vivienne from France. I changed it up after I decided I wanted to create outdoor lighting. I made this change since I was immediately inspired to create dappled lighting when I saw 2021-04-18 16:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post

✷ Packaging Help! ✷

Hi Patrons! 🧑

I need your help! I'm buying stock for the next shop update and want to use eco-friendly/biodegradable bags. Unfortunately, I spoke to a representative and they said the protective closure bags are currently out of stock so I only have these two options:

Hi Patrons! ✨

I finished painting "Thoughts"! In this painting, I wanted to capture a foggy scene and the feeling of getting wrapped up in your thoughts. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the future so I wanted to capture that!

Usually, when I can't find a specific pose reference I end up taking the photo myself. I really love the foggy landscape and I knew I wanted to paint it and add my own interpretation to it. Originally, I wanted to create dramatic clo...

Happy Friday Patrons! πŸ’›

It's getting warmer where I'm from so I wanted to paint a piece with a warmer palette! I don't have a name for it yet but it's most likely going to be related to the sky/clouds! πŸ₯°

I also want to show you some sketches! I'm thinking about making Instagram GIF stickers for everyone to use! I thought it would be neat to create my own set of gifs! This will probably be a small future project!

Beloved Night 🧚✨ - Process

Happy Friday Patrons! 

Here's the finished illustration of "Beloved Night"! I wanted to paint a fairy that would spread wishes to homes at night. 🧚

"May your sweet dreams carry you through the night"

This painting was definitely quite a challenge since I tried so hard to stay away from oranges and pinks which definitely failed since I managed to squeeze it in there πŸ˜…I was very much inspired by the late illustrator, John Bauer! That's why...

Moonlight Valley πŸŒ•πŸŒ΅ + Process

Hi Patrons!

I finished β€œMoonlight Valley”!

This piece was inspired by my trip to Arizona and Utah a few years ago and one of my favourite photographers; Cody Cobb.

His otherworldly photos inspired me to attempt the same ambience in this painting.

I had this idea to paint a moonlit landscape but I changed the idea after seeing more photos of sunsets at Monument Valley. I wanted to radiate that lightin...

✷ Help me choose a colour palette! 🎨✷

Hey Patrons! πŸ‘‹

Lately, I've been needing some inspiration so I want to challenge myself to paint with a colour palette I don't usually work with! 

I pulled these colour combinations from Pinterest and tried to choose cool tones and colours outside of my comfort zone. As you can tell, I tried to stay away from warm colours and pastel colours!  πŸ˜…

P.S. Feel free to join me by choosing a colour palette outside your comfort zone and make a painting out of it! 😊...

Hi Patrons!

"Angel's Treasures 🦒" Process

Here's the process for "Angel's Treasures"!

I've been seeing a lot of ornate mirrors and sculpted candles lately so I had this idea of painting a vanity set up for an angel! I wanted to create warm atmospheric lighting lit by candles and the golden hour. 

I had a lot of fun painting the objects (especially the candles!) Although, I must admit that painting this was pretty challenging since I had to restrain myself from adding too much detail to the objects! Sometimes, it’...

Hi Patrons! 

In this illustration, I wanted to create something in my comfort zone. I love painting clouds since I find it super therapeutic and relaxing! What are some of your favourite things to paint? 

This started because I wanted to take a break from working on this larger piece. I was frustrated with the piece so I opened a new canvas and I  just kept painting clouds which resulted in this! I took a nice long break and relaxed after which was quite nice since ...
