Of course I had to paint the Bird of the Year, the cutest little black robin! šŸ–¤

Although, I donā€™t think this painting liked me very much. As someone who loves playing with colour, painting this little birdie was a bit different from my usual style. Plus, there were SO many layers to work through!

And just when I thought I was getting somewhere, my white ink pen decided to leave a massive blob right on the bird šŸ« 

Thankfully, I managed to rescue it with a few layers of black ink and paint.

Paper: 300gsm watercolour paper

I procrastinated hard on this one because I knew those teal tones were going to be a challenge!

Itā€™s been a week since moving to Auckland City, and I already miss waking up to the sound of tÅ«Ä« singing every morning. šŸ¤

Itā€™s been a wee while since I posted on here, so here are some coasters I designed last year šŸ¤Ž

I picked these ceramic ones up from Kmart, painted the backgrounds and added the mehndi designs with a thin marker. Really happy with how they turned out, might have to make some more šŸ™ˆ

One of my biggest artworks to date! šŸ¤

Designing wedding couple portraits has become one of my favourite things to create, and seeing this artwork printed on canvas made it even more special. I wish Iā€™d taken more photos because the scale of this piece doesnā€™t come across here!

Commissions are available šŸ’Œ Send me a DM for more information

Peacock inspired by my recent trip to India šŸ¦šāœØ

Waking up every morning to see these beauties right at my doorstep was honestly the highlight of my trip.

I challenged myself to use just one brush for this piece and the train was definitely the trickiest part! Still learning to loosen up with watercolours, but Iā€™m loving how easy this set makes it to paint anywhere!

What bird should I paint next? šŸŽØšŸ’­

Itā€™s been a while since I picked up a paintbrush, so I thought Iā€™d try something new with watercolours.

Painted this sweet little lorikeet that I always see on my walks around Avalon Park. They usually fly in pairs, so I think this one needs a friend soon šŸ¦œ
