I painted this hummingbird in watercolor, then added pastels on top for texture and opacity. Bird are always a favorite to paint. There is such a variety in colors and shapes! This little bird will make its way into a pattern eventually! Mixed media is my go-to, as I love to incorporate the strenths of each medium. It's a blessing to be able to create, even on a smaller scale. I love the lighter colors and touches of green. I put my hummingbird on some of my oil pastel ... View the Post
So Many Inky Flowers!
Bottled inks are an amazing medium to use in your artwork. They move like watercolors, but have a staining element that makes them perfect for layering (you may end up with inky fingers, though). This post is full of pictures in my art journals of various little paintings. I often take these and use them in surface pattern design for papercrafting and fabric! The rich, bold color of bottled inks give life to the most simple flower. Some inks have shimmery goodness as well! Find my ... View the Post

Oil Pastel Poinsettia Wreath & Free Paper!
This winter poinsettia wreath was fun to paint using oil pastels. If you want instant texture and leasy layers, try your hand with them. My favorites are Mungyo Gallery and Paul Rubens. Here, I have used Strathmore Toned Tan paper, which is great paper for any medium not heavily reliant on water. CLICK HERE to go to my Patreon page to get your FREE Seamless Pattern that I made with this wreath. Give my page a follow! :) There will be an attachment. Click on that to download the design. ...

Watercolor Christmas Berries & Paper Collection
We have had our first significant (but still small) snowfall here, so the autumn vibes are morphing into Christmas ones. Here are some watercolor berries in a loose style. I've created a collection using these that can be purchased HERE. The sheets are double-sided and thinner than cardstock, making them perfect for card backgrounds, envelopes, and journals like a December daily. Examples below! Use an art journal! They really are a great way to create without pressure or for ... View the Post
