Aqua pens and subscription box 8

Happy Friday!

I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Today, I was inspired by Sara Davies from Crafter's Companion and took my Aqua pens from Spectrum Noir and stamps from Subscription Box 8 and just had fun :)

I love how the colours blend, I only used Primary Set - Aqua Pens and a little bit of water to create new colours, especially the purple (Teal and Navy + Magenta).

Spring painting in gouache

Happy Sunday!

I hope you have a wonderful day.

A got a really nice set of gouache paints from my husband(few months ago ...). The paint was waiting and waiting for me to create something. I've never used gouache before so I challenged myself and I used a colour pallet that I wouldn't use for wildlife. One of the classes on Skill Share inspired me to come out of my comfort zone and try this technique, I was reluctant at the beginning (I have to admit) but then I actually like the result. It is good to try something new as it stretches your supplies and skills. 

I hope you will try something new, a painting, drawing or mixed media.

Watercolour mosaic - Starry Night

Happy Saturday!

Let's try something new! I challenged myself to create a watercolour mosaic on an A3 paper, it took me seven days to complete this painting challenge, I was inspired by a Skill Share class. I learned a lot using this technique, I'm definitely better at thinner and longer strokes :)

Taking up this challenge, I wanted to create a mosaic version of my favourite painting 'Starry Night' by Vincent van Gogh.

Spring butterfly in soft pastel

Happy Friday!

I hope you have a fantastic day. 

The weather is so beautiful at the moment and staying at home makes me try new techniques. I used soft pastels to create this drawing and I love this technique. Using Rembrandt pastels made it easy to blend the colours together and actually it was much quicker than expected.

I really recommend trying something new.
