Illustrator’s Guide to Procreate

       

        

Last weekend I bought Ruth Burrows book - The illustrators guide to Procreate. It’s a gift to myself when I was buying mid year gifts for the family- well actually I didn’t need an occasion to buy this book as I simply just needed it is a good enough reason. 

I have been saving online classes link and workshops on skillshare to learn and practice more on procreate but as those are all online I seem to never add that to my list of practicing. Hence I needed this book.I have been following Ruth’s work for awhile and I have been a fan of her colour usage. 

The still life above are based on my inspiration picture from Italian and is created using her first project from the book - Still life.

       

       

This was really fun and with easy tips mentioned in the book, this was fun to achieve. Though next time I will make sure I add a time limit how much I want to dedicate to these practice sessions. 

Painting 365

Eek! Am doing it and no going back!! 

Painting365 starts in 22 days!!! On March 8th  I will officially start painting, posting, listing, and selling one painting every day. These paintings will be sold on my etsy shop for the dollar amount of the day (for example, on day 13,the painting will cost $13). To start with the paper size would be roughly 6” x 6” with medium gouache/ watercolours. 

This is inspired by Emily Jeffords who did this few years back, am doing it so that I get into habit of posting my artworks to sell on my site rather than me just hoarding them and not letting them go. This is also to celebrate a big bday for myself. 

Would you like a painting for yourself?? I would love to paint a painting specifically for you it for your loved one! Send me a photograph of one of your beautiful memories/ keepsake, and I will paint it!
