Doing tutorials even when I’m working on commissions is helpful for me. There is always down time in working with watercolor (drying time anyone?) and it helps to have something else to work on.
Do you like to multitask?

Another wee little house, from a tutorial.
I love working on buildings.

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. 😁
