The last day of the @artisticisle.watercolor #artisticcheer art challenge is Winter Wonderland. The first thing that popped into my head was the classic movie Doctor Zhivago. Growing up in Central America there is no winter. The first memory I have of snow was watching this movie with my Mom and looking at the album cover of the soundtrack. Mom bought soundtracks of all her favorite films. So here is my version of Laura from the magical winter scenes in Doctor Zhivago. I used my @artisticisle.watercolor paints. The perfect time to pull out the Galaxy Love Mini Palette with Iris and Oceanic Swirl. Other colors used : Frost Bliss Lavender Grey Star Bismuth Yellow Tuscan Sun Azure Tahiti Marine Blue Burnt Sienna Chinese Vermilion Brushes: @princetonbrush #fashionillustrators #art #illustration #winterfashion #watercolorillustration #princetonbrushes #artisticisleartist #sketchbookpage #artoftheday #createdaily https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKBe1qv4P8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Using my new adorable little @artisticisle.watercolor Fall Primaries Set 2, which includes: Indian yellow Quinacridone (a new favorite!!) Azure Tahiti Scarlet Hematite Marine Blue Made a quick sketch in my @fieldartista 5x5 Watercolor sketchbook I bought 2 @silverbrushltd a while ago and I haven’t really had a chance to try them out. I was pleasantly surprised. They have more bounce than I thought they would. I’m using the Silver Black Velvet rounds in #6 and #10 The #6 comes to a finer point than it looks like it would. Not tiny enough to paint my lady’s face, but I was just testing it out.

I’m starting a little late on this Mixed Media #beeartistic challenge, so don’t worry if you start late too. Plenty of time to join the @artisticisle.watercolor Team in this fun November challenge 🐝 🎨 Here I’ve combined @artisticisle.watercolor handmade paints on @mozartsupplies Coldpress paper. Also from @mozartsupplies pretty washi tape used here to adorn the triangle shaped Stomacher. I’ve even searched out some beads for a necklace and a silk flower for a headdress from my box of goodies.

Wild for leopard print! 🐆 Could she, would she dare, don the coat of the wildest of animals? ... Of course not, Natalia only wears faux fur and vegan clothing. She is truly a friend to the creatures of our Jungle Paradise. A few of the @artisticisle.watercolor colors that I used are: Forest Green Emerald Coast Permanent Green Kryptonite Swipe through to see the full list of paints that I used and other supplies. Brushes: @princetonbrush Lauren Round #8 Heritage Round #4 Pens: @sakuraofamerica Pigma Micron 005 and 05 Paper: @strathmoreart Watercolor Cold Press 300 series- pack of 24 sheets I like this paper. It has a good weight and is loose sheets, so I don’t have to rip them off the pad. One less thing for me to do. It was gifted to me from @electriceunice from one of her watercolor classes. Thank you Eunice!🎨🌸 #wildlyartistic #fashionstyle #leopardprint #artisticisleartist #retrostyle #styleoftheday #fashionillustration #fashionillustrated #womenofillustration #watercolorblog #princetonbrushes #strathmorepaper #strathmoreart #pigmamicronpens #handmadewatercolours #aquarella #aquarelle #art_we_inspire #augustchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CSK5DNmJ34y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just had the chance to brighten up these photos in photoshop. The lighting in my studio is not the best. Swipe through to see the closeups. One is in natural light, the other is augmented with every lamp I have on my desk! What do you use to brighten your photos? I got so busy and then I forgot I took these photos for the Coastal Life week in #artisticwaters challenge hosted by @katherine.urban.art I loved Katherine’s Polaroid style painting so much that I followed her example. And here is my little lady living La Dolce Vida on the Amalfi Coast! Wish I were there!

Squeezing in this last quick painting for the #artisticwaters challenge. July went by so quickly! This last week of the challenge is English Garden/ Water features, hosted by @its_art_oclock and @artisticisle.watercolor I was inspired by a photo of Stourhead in Wiltshire that I found on @theenglishgardenmagazine and of course my love of Jane Austen. Paint: @artisticisle.watercolor I tried out some new colors; Smolder and Sea Green. Love them! 💙💚 Paper: @mozartsupplies Cold Press Watercolor Paper Brushes @princetonbrush #englishgardens #janeausten #emma #watercolour #watercolordaily #mozartists #mozartsupplies #princetonbrushes #artisticisleartist #metallicwatercolor #bookcoverartist #historicalromance #formalgardens #stourheadgardens #handlettering #creativewomen #womenillustrators #quickwatercolor (at Stourhead House & Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSA5C1oHOdL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Amongst the tinkling of cocktail glasses Liz heard murmurs of conversations.
