A Day in the Life of an Aspiring Artist - Jennifer Brindle

I am an aspiring artist, that loves to paint in watercolour. Life's too short to settle, gonna go for my dreams of becoming a professional artist!!

I was almost going to give up on this #watercolour #painting but glad I pushed through the awkward ugly stage. I keep coming back to images of falling/floating figures in water as it’s such a beautiful metaphor for the feeling of being swept up in whirl of emotions. This one doesn’t have a title yet any suggestions? #watercolourpainting #watercolorfigures #figurativeart #surrealart #emotiveart https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5CVXRh0bm/?igshid=1i9m3lpk5tvkk

Finished this #watercolour #gouache and #silverleaf #painting entitled ‘Ignorance’ Found this great reference photo on pexels and just had to paint it! I always stress for way too long about what to paint, so just wanted to paint a simple composition and not overthink it. Happy with how it came out 😄 #artistsoninstagram #watercolourpainting #artoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQhZa1BlWN/?igshid=1hbm51uki4h7v

All finished! Was fun to paint something different. I often limit myself by only painting what I consider as ‘my style’. But it’s so nice to create something just for fun 😄. Thanks @limikirk for commissioning me! #art #watercolorpainting #watercolorflorals #artforfun #watercolor #peonies #copperleaf #winsorandnewtonwatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6j-TAhsN0/?igshid=1b2jqpg671iks

All finished! (I think?) - kinda regretting painting over the background lit up area, but think there is more focus on the hand this way. Super pleased with how it came out! #art #artist #watercolourpainting #waterart #artistsoninstagram #arts_help #contemporaryart #winsorandnewtonwatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNroEJhnmC/?igshid=1axuz6gcl2868

It feels like ages since I painted properly - new puppy life has kept me away from the easel, but it feels so good to get back into it! Making some more progress on my #watercolor #painting entitled ‘Impermenance’ #watercolourart #watercolorpainting #wip #ontheeaseltoday https://www.instagram.com/p/CBNvBlHhDjh/?igshid=1oepybf6zujon

Every artists favourite thing to paint! I was intending this to be just a quick fun study in between my larger works, but it ended up being much more challenging and time consuming than I thought! bit stumped for a title though, any suggestions? I’m thinking maybe ‘Day dreamer’ #watercolorpainting #watercolor #eyepainting #artistsoninstagram #watercolorartist #eyestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/B_jnNwTF_Ui/?igshid=n477aeok37gk

Omg I’m FINALLY finished, this #painting was a real struggle, some parts were super hard to get right and took many attempts. Overall I am really happy and proud of how this came out 😄.

Back in my happy place 😄😄😄😄. Just got back from a 3 week offshore stint, was craving #painting really bad. Soooo happy to be back in my studio to work on this #watercolourpainting #artistsoninstagram #artinprogress #artist #watercolour #artstudiovibes https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QgIS7hae6/?igshid=1lkp636g8cvlg

Omg omg omg - my #watercolourpainting ‘Cleanse’ has just sold on #bluethumb!!! So excited and happy - I told myself a few years ago that 2020 was gonna be the year I start trying to sell my work, so to sell this means the world to me. Think I can call myself a professional artist now 👩🏻‍🎨 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dx-UHhT64/?igshid=1o8eg2gfu3v9o

I did a quick little #watercolour #paintingstudy today trying out the #ampersand #aquaboard. I normally paint exclusively on #archeswatercolorpaper, but gave this a try and really liked it! Have any of you tried it? Not as good as paper for layering to achieve realistic effects, but great for that more painterly look 😄 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9MWF7Xhq18/?igshid=jvnvqwqrsmny
