A few undersketches for small paintings

Hey everyone, 

Before I jump into bigger pieces, I need to warm up and get myself back into painting, so I've been putting together a few small concepts that I will paint in the next few days. 

I painted a few things already, but some didn't work out, and I will share all of that with you soon, but in the meantime, here are a few undersketches for a few pieces I hope will ...

Process PDF Format Poll

EDIT :
So, as of today, 05-09-19, we are at 30% PDFs and 60% Videos. Therefore, I have decided I will be working on videos most often, but will upload PDFs every so and then also. Thanks for your votes everyone, you were really helpful!

Hi peeps, 

As I mentioned in t...

All the paintings I have planned (sketches, concepts...etc...)

Hi lovely people, 

How are you all?

Over here, things are good. I'm my usual amount of exhausted, but at least I managed to spend a good portion of last week sketching, which felt incredible.
I shared the sketches in my Patreon Lenses (which you can access like an Insta Story on the Patreon app), and I'm so glad you guys enjoyed them! Thank you for all your ...

August 2019 Sketchbook PDF

Hey everyone, 

Here's the sketchbook PDF for August!

These were the last sketches in my completed sketchbook (of which you can watch the full tour on my Youtube channel here), and the last two are from my new sketchbook.
It's a grey paper sketchbook, which is really interesting to work in!

I hope you...

Hi everyone!

How are you all?

This post is going to be about what you can expect to see from me in the coming weeks, and includes some changes to some Patreon rewards, so make sure you read at least that section to know how these changes might affect you. 

Before we jump into the plans for this month, I want to welcome all the new people who recently join...

July 2019 Sketchbook PDF

Hey everyone!

I am finally done with my Strathmore Course! Well, so long as they are ok with it and don't want any changes, haha. But for now, I have sent it over and am waiting for a response. Hopefully, all will be good!
I wish I could release it early for all of you, but as it's a commission for a client, I unfortunately can't do that, but I hope you'll like it once...

Finished Coaster Paintings (Oregon Show!)

Hi peeps!

I have finished the little coaster paintings and they are now on their way to Oregon for their show in September!

I ended up painting a Sneyel (see what I did there XD) instead of the eye in the crystal, as I wasn't super confident with the design yet. I'll re-explore it in the future I think though. I think it could make a cool sticker or...

Strathmore Course Painting Demos

Hi peeps, 

I'm still hard at work on the Strathmore course and the coaster painting, which is why I've been somewhat quieter than usual on here, but I thought you might like to see the pieces I will...

Coaster Paintings WIP Sketches

Hi peeps, 

Merry Monday! How are you all?

Over here, things are quite intense, as I have started working on the Strathmore course videos, which will be my main job all week, and probably next week too.
BUT! I also have to fit in a couple of small coaster paintings for a show I was invited to participate in in August, in Portland, Oregon.&nb...

New Painting : "Kindling"

Hi peeps, 

I think I have finally finished the piece that I started before I went on holiday! 

This one is title "Kindling".
I love that word, and as a child, I always thought it referred to a small and kind (kind-ling) creature, so it feels gentle and poetic ...

I'm back! - Sketches, Holiday photos and July plans

Hi everyone!
I am back from our holiday!

We came back on the 27th of June, and had a couple of days to settle back into our lives, unpack, refill the fridge, we had a family dinner...etc...and now, it's time to get back to work. :)

✿ OUR HOLIDAY ✿

We had a wonderful holiday, and I'll be honest, I...

My Favourite Artists

Hi all, 

I've been asked a few times to make a post about my favourite artists and biggest artistic inspirations, so this is it!

I have numerous artists I admire and inspire myself from, and listing them all would probably lead to this post being miles long, so I'll be focusing on the ones that haven't changed after many years. My tastes vary, and have changed...

"Unravelling" PROCESS VIDEO

Hey peeps, 

Here's your June Painting Process Breakdown!

This month's breakdown is taking a bit of a different form than previous months, as I didn't scan the piece as I went, so I decided to comment over the video instead.
I still show you all my supplies and explain my process in details, but it's in video form. 

Let me know what you think of t...

"Kindling" Work In Progress

Hi peeps!

So, I'm really happy, because I managed to create 99% of your rewards for this month in the two weeks I had before I went on holiday. I really didn't think I would manage that!

However, the one thing I did not manage to finish, was the painting for the monthly print. I am about 8...

"Fortitude" Real-Time Video

Hey peeps, 

As promised, here is the real-time video of Fortitude!

I talk for about 20 mins at the beginning, and then I overlayed some music for the rest of the video. I go into what supplies I used to draw the piece, and I talk a little about how I perceive this piece and what it means in my eyes. 

I thought I'd also add the supplies I used in this post, and you ca...

Hi everyone, 

You may remember a similar post I did about my Inktober 2017 prints last month. Well, here...

"AEVUM" Real-Time Painting Video

Hey peeps, 

Here is the video of the hand painting for my 1-Year Anniversary :). 

I decided to title the piece "Aevum", which refers to time and eternity in latin. I thought the word sounded beautiful, and the sound of it makes me think of a rush of air and a vacu...

June 2019 Sketchbook PDF

Hey peeps, 

Here's the Sketchbook PDF for June! 

I didn't do a lot of sketches this month, but I focused on creating sketches that felt more polished, so I personally really love this spread. I hope you will too!
I will probably be offering prints of most of these sketches in the near future!

I hope you are all well,

What you can hopefully expect for June and July

Hi peeps, 

So, as you may have heard already, June and July are going to be a little different than usual.
June because my boyfriend and I are going on holiday for 10 days at the end of the month (I CAN'T WAIT), and July because I am going to need to focus on putting together my 4-video c...
