My painting must haves at the moment: - Hair band from Missguided to keep the hair out the way!
- Big mug from NEXT and flavoured with Pineapple and Grapefruit green tea (Twinings)
- Makeup brush for blending because the hairs NEVER fall out of them 
- A candle from b&m to set the mood 💛 
- A HUGE canvas from The Range because I’m having SO much fun painting big lately…
What are your must haves at the moment? Let’s share them here and see if there’s anything new we wanna try… you never know!

Isn’t he beautiful?! I can’t believe he is one year old! 😍 here he is being good as gold (I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to eat any of my canvases yet) but then again I don’t ever leave him alone near them 😂 oh, and here is another WIP during its ugly stage! . . . . . . #arts #artistic #artwork #artesanato #arte #artofinstagram #artist #art #art_spotlight #artsy #artgallery #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #acrylicpaint #hexagonart #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #paint #sunsetpainting #creative #create #love #blue #prussianblue #wip #workinprogress #drawing #goldenretriever (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4PyY5fnbNn/?igshid=eyxny1vob6wr

I’m gonna let you into a secret 🤫 ... Swipe to see the process of how I make sweeping clouds. To do this you just need a spray water bottle, a dark coloured acrylic paint, white acrylic paint, a small angled brush and then a small makeup brush for the blending at the end. Enjoy 💙! * * * * *#arts #artistic #artwork #artesanato #arte #artofinstagram #artist #art #art_spotlight #artsy #artgallery #artoftheday #cloudpainting #artistsoninstagram #acrylicpaint #paintingtutorial #paintingprocess #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #paint #painter #creative #create #love #blue #prussianblue #wip #workinprogress #arttutorial (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FC7HPHSiJ/?igshid=qr19940pvw91

Working on bigger and better things 😍 And I’m powering on through this cold 💪🏼 I must say if you’ve never tried rum and honey in a hot lemon drink... you need to try it next time you are ill. It is FAB! P.S yes I do have a studio but I like to paint in the living room sometimes to sit with my love even though he is shouting at the football players every 5 minutes 😂 Happy Sunday people 💛 . . . . . . #art #artoftheday #arts #artsy #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #artofinstagram #art_spotlight #picoftheday #clouds #cloudpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #waterpainting #water #landscape #seascape #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #acrylicpainting #sea #oceanart #girlswhopaint #homedecor #seapainting #bluedecor #selfie (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B32SA15HopU/?igshid=1pnak3hz5i736

Some of my faves from the newest collection! This is the mini moody Crete collection. A Crete collection part 2 is coming soon where the pieces will be larger than these babies so watch this space 🤗 all these and more are available on my Etsy (link in bio) and I’ve also got 25% off all of my older pieces (apart from 1 hexagon piece!) 💙 * * * * #art #artistsoninstagram #arte #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #artforsale #cloudpainting #waves #sea #seascape #travelart #bluepainting #homedecor #wallart #bluedecor #coastalhome #clouds #nature #hiking #girlswhopaint #paint #creative #sketch #coastalart #artstudio #handmade #coastalchic (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3myEyanDXL/?igshid=2ikym021ph8y

WOOHOO AND THEY ARE OFFICIALLY LIVE!! 💙 The mini Crete collection is now available on my Etsy shop, link in bio. I’ve poured my heart and soul into these little cuties! Inspired by the beautiful scenery in Crete and the inevitable moodiness that you feel when you come back to reality after a really great holiday, but then you look on the bright side and remember the beautiful memories you’ll never relive in exactly the same way ever again, are feeling grateful and also happy to back to all your home comforts. So we have a lot moody skies and a bright side in every piece yet they are still so unique. Each named after a different village in Crete. 5x7 inch on canvas board and made with love. 🖤 * * * * * * * #art #arte #seapainting #sunsetpainting #cloudpainting #artistsoninstagram #oceanart #landscapeart #landscapepainting #sunrise #sunset #artist #ocean #homedecor #blueart #goldleaf #travel #painting #crete #drawing #creative #acrylicpainting #originalart #originalpainting #girlswhopaint #love #paint #landscape #paint (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3jtbZunLKA/?igshid=1ax8z4jdemjz5

A very cosy and relaxing Sunday evening here... We are loving it! I’ve got my nice fruity cider, a chopping board full of paint and working on the new collection to be released next Sunday! 🤗 All while my love is watching football and the pup is chilled and smelling LOVELY after his bath. So while this may not be the most ‘productive’ set up, I wouldn’t ask for anything different because right now it’s perfecto!! On that not I’m off to carry on painting. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday 💙 . . . . . . . #art #artoftheday #arts #artsy #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #artofinstagram #art_spotlight #picoftheday #clouds #cloudpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #waterpainting #water #landscape #seascape #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #acrylicpainting #sea #oceanart #girlswhopaint #homedecor #blueart #bluedecor #selfie (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SMiDhHj9K/?igshid=4ox7mfr350jz

Such a long process and a pain in the backside at times but it is soooo worth it 😍 . . . . . . #art #artoftheday #arts #artsy #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #artofinstagram #art_spotlight #picoftheday #clouds #cloudpainting #nature #sunset #sunsetpainting #waterpainting #water #landscape #seascape #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #acrylicpainting #sea #oceanart #girlswhopaint #homedecor #blueart #bluedecor #video https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PCgtpnNI5/?igshid=zjzfpx6qfu3x

I’d say this is finally coming together ☀️ I’m happy with the sky now so it’s mostly a question of adding some little touch ups to the clouds and sea now, and then I need to decide what to do about the horizon line, will it be subtle or bold? Who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . . . . . #art #artoftheday #arts #artsy #artistsoninstagram #artist #artwork #artofinstagram #art_spotlight #picoftheday #clouds #cloudpainting #nature #sunset #sunsetpainting #waterpainting #water #landscape #seascape #seapainting #oceanpainting #painting #acrylicpainting #sea #oceanart #girlswhopaint #homedecor #blueart #bluedecor (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3O157OH2h5/?igshid=4azroo6q5lcd

If it wasn’t obvious from my feed I am OBSESSED with Prussian Blue at the moment 😍 It is dominating all my acrylic paintings lately and I just bought some ink in the same colour today so I’m excited to experiment with a different medium... Let’s see what happens 🤗 and who knows, I may have some spontaneous pieces to add to my moody Crete collection (which will be released on Sunday 13th October 😉) * * * * * #art #artistsoninstagram #arte #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #cloudpainting #clouds #waves #sea #seascape #travel #bluepainting #homedecor #wallart #sunrise #coast #hiking #nature #love #girlswhopaint #paint #creative #sketch #coastalart #artstudio #wip #oceanart (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H_7jTnCKT/?igshid=1owddfm1lvnrm

Here’s another painting I’m working on at the moment! The sea and the warmth of the sunset seem to be on the right track but I’m massively struggling with the clouds and sky on this one. Something needs to drastically change soon but I can’t quite figure it out right now so if anyone has any bright ideas please do let me know 🤗 Also side note: I have 20% off almost everything on Etsy as I’m trying to give myself more space in the studio to move on to newer pieces ☺️ * * * * #art #artistsoninstagram #arte #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #sunrise #canvasart #waves #sea #seascape #travel #hexagonpainting #homedecor #hexagon #hexagonart #coast #hiking #nature #love #girlswhopaint #paint #creative #sketch #coastalart #artstudio #wip #makeupbrushes (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CVo45nbtF/?igshid=1cjeaajewgq0q

As promised today is the day I announce the date of the new mini moody collection inspired by my trip to Crete (read on for the date!). They are all still works in progress and I’m aiming for them to be moody yet beautiful and each one unique. This collection is about the bitter sweet feeling when you come back from holiday and you have had a lovely time, are grateful for having created new memories and come back feeling refreshed yet still a little moody to have to come back to reality!! Finally, they will be released on Sunday 13th October.

Kalispera! Here’s some more sneak peeks of the mini Crete collection to be released in October. With this collection I’m recreating some of the scenes I witnessed in Greece and trying out new techniques with my work... If you saw my stories last night you will see that I’ve incorporated some gold leaf interest for the first time ever into my work 🙋🏽‍♀️ while it was quite a tricky and messy process it was still a lot of fun and very satisfying to see it once the gold shapes are revealed! Happy Thursday! 💙 * * * * * #art #artistsoninstagram #arte #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #sunset #sunsetpainting #goldleaf #goldleafart #waves #sea #seascape #travel #crete #homedecor #wallart #bedroomdecor #coast #greece #nature #love #girlswhopaint #paint #creative #sketch #coastalart #artstudio #wip (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B238DtZnFz5/?igshid=1v5jbgvnpqsfl
