First let me start off with saying you paintings are amazing #LoveIt and I paint and sketch things too but have never been able to get water paint right >> How do you create such pieces without a mess??

Hi Christine! Thank you very much! Well, the easy answer is: I don’t. I pretty much always create a mess ;) But water-colours are great because you can layer the paint and turn mistakes into something else (and perhaps better?!). You can also use a brush and clean water to get rid of smudges and things. As a last resort there is always photoshop. Obviously that only works if you only want to present your work online. Hope this helps!

do you paint these online?

Hi there, thanks for your question! No, most of my work is done offline. I usually use watercolors and ink and then scan the picture once it's done. I have posted a couple of digital drawings as well but I prefer to work with actual paint and paper. :)

how you gt the inspiration

Hi! I get inspired by pretty much everything. But mainly movies, photos and nature. Of course, also by other artists. Have a lovely weekend!

Love your work! :) What's your favorite color?

Thank you so much! My favourite colour changes all the time. At the moment I love fresh, bright colours like yellow and pink. :)

best blog ever

Uhm, thank you! Best message ever :)

Your works are really inspiring for those who use watercolor :) Do you still use pencils before painting?

Thanks so much! I sometimes use pencil and then erase it after going over it with a waterproof pen, other times I leave the pencil so you can still see it and when I'm feeling confident I just draw straight with a black marker (no pencil at all). Depends on my mood and what I want the end piece to look like. :)
