The view from my hotel on a cold rainy day.

Ink wash and fineliner in my watercolour sketchbook.

Lavenders. Watercolour on pad.

One of my butterfly paintings I did for practice last week. Forgot to erase some of the pencil marks, but it still looks nice :)

just watercolour fun

A person and their cat strolling through the forest in winter.

Painting of California coastline. Painted this while I was still learning how to mix watercolors and the amount of water I used etc. but I still liked how this turned out!

A little illustration done with watercolour and coloured pencil on watercolour paper.

Painted with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi art noveau set and coloured pencil.

Goddess Lilith. (Yes, I know that her thigh tattoos are wrongly placed. Sadly, I cannot do anything about that now.)

A watercolour illustration for the book, The Girl from the Moon. One day I'll finish the book.

Watercolour, gouache and coloured pencil on mixed media paper.

A piece that I made for one of the coordinators at my art group. It's an in joke. I just have a few finishing touches and then it is complete.

Finished version of La Luna.The picture doesn't do the colours justice.

This was an exercise in taking a photo that was quite dark and foreboding and turning it into a happy looking illustration. I'm slowly getting my head around how to make my work look like illustration instead of "fine art". This is watercolour and colour pencil.

Daily drawing is a super important artist's habit. Even 2-3 minutes is enough to build it into the everyday routine. Happy drawing!

A digital edit of my Beach Baby watercolour painting.

A few stars and moon highlights to add.

The hair needs some work before I can say that this is finished. It's the only part that I'm not happy with. Edit: I fixed the hair but made the face worse, and ended up ruining the painting. So. There you go.

Wake up your creativity! Take a piece of paper, something to write on, and draw a few lines/circles/squiggles. Then more and more, and so on... Let your imagination run wild. You can create something beautiful out of nothing.

I took a lot of artistic licence with this, and am not happy with the flower itself. I do like the branch and leaves though.

Pen sketch and watercolours.

Patience - is so important thing in our life. It is so easy to forget about it... Be patient :)

I like to paint cups with things in them. Watercolour and coloured pencil on watercolour paper.
