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!

Amongst the tinkling of cocktail glasses Liz heard murmurs of conversations. Were all eyes on her new evening gown or the painting of an Alpine Lake behind her? @artisticisle.watercolor Cerulean Blue Forest Green Prussian Blue Silver Nova Solaris Poseidon Eclipse Luna Antique Silver Equinox Lt Yellow Ochre Indian Yellow Tuscan Sun Brushes: @princetonbrush Paper: @strathmoreart #artisticwaters #watercolor #artisticisleartist #painting #illustration #fashionillustration #bookcoverartist #bookillustration #metallicwatercolor #watercolordaily #princetonbrushes #strathmoreart #strathmorepaper #fashionillustrator #coverart https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxge8Unmbh/?utm_medium=tumblr

The finished watercolor for Week 1 - Island ,in the #artisticwaters art challenge is inspired by The trendsetting @karenbritchick This gorgeous Alexie Sabelle Blue Maxi dress speaks to me of island waters. I’m loving the Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie bag in green as well.
