“The Old Ways” A lighting study in digital watercolour using @daubbrushes in @procreate Artists never stop learning and I’ve decided that this is my primary mantra for the next month. I’m going to be undertaking study in better understanding how light works and how to bring that knowledge to my art. I’m excited to take a step into the unknown and really pour some time into developing my skills as a painter. #digitalwatercolor #fantasyart #witchyart #digitalart #magicalart #drawmoreplus #daubbrushes https://www.instagram.com/p/CP88qeflOgI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Moon Stone 🌙 work on progress! This is the next in my Crystal Yoga series💜 and is my birthstone for June. Pearl is a more commonly recognised birthstone for June but I much prefer Moonstone! Image description: a video of an illustration being created in Procreate. A black person with short blue hair in a punk style does crescent moon pose, they are in a wheelchair which is the same shimmery blue and purple colours as their trousers, T-shirt and glasses. Behind them is a pale purple galaxy background with moons and stars. They are wearing crystal bracelets around their wrists. #moonstone #yogaforall #yogabodypositive #bodypositiveyoga #crystalhealing #crystalwitch #crystalenergy https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfrtFzl0D9/?igshid=151w4t099lsf5

Baby-wearing yoga! 😍 I really love creating custom art for small businesses. @flying_feathers_family came to me asking if I could create an illustration for her baby wearing yoga class, plus some colouring pages for her workshops and wanted to emphasise the idea of ‘connection’. We based the illustration on the colours of her logo and incorporated the cute stars and feathers from@her logo into the yoga mummy’s leggings and baby carrying wrap. There’s so many little details in there it’s a really intricate piece! The final touch was turning the whole design into positive affirmation greeting cards that she can give to her clients, it’s funny how a project can grown and evolve as it comes to life! I’m so proud of this piece and honoured that I could create something so unique and special for such a lovely yoga teacher! 💜💜💜 Image description: an illustration in digital watercolour of a woman with her small baby in a wrap on her chest. She is sitting cross legged on the floor with both arms raised to the sky in a joyful pose. #customart #commissionedart #illustrationartists #ukillustrators #yogaart #yogaillustration #bodypositiveyoga #babywearing #babywearingmama #babywearinglove #babywearingforthewin #babywearersofinstagram #babywearingyoga #yogamom #yogainspiration #yogalove #yogamummy #yogateacher #yogabusiness #yogaisforeverybody #motherhoodjourney #womeninbusiness #ukwomeninbusiness #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessowner https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFFjVUFBW1/?igshid=15pd4x3hanall

If you’ve ever wondered what my processes are here ya go! This piece was created in Procreate using @daubbrushes 💚💚💚 Image description - a video of the making of process of my Peridot painting of a yoga practitioner in green clothing doing tree pose. #peridot #wip #behindthescenes #crystallovers #crystalhealing #crystalenergy #crystalart #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artistsupportartists #artwork #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #womenillustrators #womeninbusiness #yogaart #bodypositiveart #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfMfZIFA5X/?igshid=18b5yrlkzcldk

I love lapis lazuli, the colour is just so deep and evocative and I’m fascinated by its history as a paint pigment! Did you see my reel earlier today with the ‘making of’ time lapse of this piece? 3rd in the Crystals series so far. Lapis can be an alternative for Sapphire as a birthstone for September. #lapislazuli #lapis #bluecrystals #crystalwitch #crystalhealing #crystalhealingenergy #throatchakra #fatyoga #fatyogaart #yogaart #yogisofinstagram #yogainspiration #bopoart #bopoartist #boporevolution #bopobabe #bodypositivity https://www.instagram.com/p/CKep2RTFW7j/?igshid=o40lz6fd1rut

Second in my Yoga Crystals series - Peridot the birthstone for August and associated with the heart chakra, emotional balance and lots of other good stuff. I’m really enjoying researching the gemstones for this series. I love the colour of Peridot, so fresh and juicy! I chose tree pose because of the connection to nature and heart. #crystalenergy #peridot #augustbirthstone #birthstones #crystalhealing #heartchakra #crystalart #plussizeyoga #yogaart #yogaartist #crystals #gemstones #anahata https://www.instagram.com/p/CKYtQ60ldyO/?igshid=8gsprmq0man7

Collecting some metaphysical information about the gemstones I’ll be including in my crystals series! One of the reasons im creating this series is I love crystals but the ethics of how they’re usually mined is very concerning so I wanted to create another way for people to explore their energies without causing more harm to the earth and human rights abuse. If you want to buy ethically sourced crystals I recommend uk based @thecrystalbuddha 💜 #amethyst #crystallovers #crystalhealing #crystal #amethystcrystal #crystalenergy #crystallove #witchyvibes #yogainspiration #yogaathome #yogabody #yogaart #yogacrystals #fatyoga #bodypositiveart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWB0QZlrSW/?igshid=11ffn1kdv7x1q

This is intended to be the start of a series of yoga and Crystal inspired artwork, I’m looking at birth stones so there should be 12...watch this space! 💜💜💜💜 Trying out some Procreate brushes I bought today to get a more authentic watercolour effect, and a more similar look to what I can achieve in Affinity - pretty happy with how this has turned out! Still prefer painting in Affinity Photo though but being able to record your project in Procreate is a big plus. Can always rely on @daubbrushes to make good brushes. #procreateart #yogaart #yogainspiration #crystalhealing #crystallovers #crystalobsession #crystalenergy #amethyst #amethystcrystal #yogaposes #dailyyoga #dailyyogapose #warriorwednesday #warriorpose #asanapractice #asanarebel #alternativegirl #alternativeyoga #purplehair #fatart #drawmoreplus (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_TpbVlimB/?igshid=16ziophwcgwe5

I can’t find the words for the world right now, we are living in a storm of events and feelings. Solidarity with my friends in the US who are horrified at what is happening in their country right now. Solidarity with my artist and yoga friends who are trying to educate and work for social justice. Solidarity with my friends in the UK who are in lockdown and desperate to make it out the other end with their lives and families lives intact. Solidarity with my friends who are running businesses affected by Brexit (same). Solidarity with fellow parents trying to raise kids and home-school and keep some normality going through all of this.... ...and to everyone I haven’t mentioned, the nurses, the teachers, the delivery drivers, every hard working soul I have missed - Love to you all 💜💜💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJy9cfMl0b3/?igshid=1t90uj82rzjsr

I just listed 3 brand new downloadable art prints on my Etsy shop - see my bio for link! There will be more to come and some new art collections in the drawing board! Since it looks like I’m going to be homeschooling for a while with the new lockdown in place this year is going to be a bit of a slow start art-business wise so any support for my shop is so greatly appreciated 💜💜💜 #curvyyoga #bodyacceptance #selfcareart #selfloveart #bodyloveart #supportsmallbusinesses #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyselleruk #etsyseller #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #womenartists #girlswhomakestuff #womenillustrators #digitalartprints (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJouxmjFLf3/?igshid=t9rbbub7u3t4

New art, I wanted to create a really joyful yoga piece for the new year - this woman knows how to rock double animal print in her yoga practice ❤️ I know a lot of you already have a yoga practice but I’ve seen a lot of posts in fat community groups this week about starting a yoga practice and not knowing the best fat accessible and safe space teachers or yoga channels to look out for ... so I’m going to be adding some links to my stories for yoga teachers I recommend and admire 💜💜💜 #fatyoga #bodypositivity #curvyyoga #yogaisforeverybody #yogaisforeveryone #yogaforall #yogaforallbodies #yogaactivism #bodyacceptance #bodyloveyoga #fatart #fatpositiveart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJlW4D9FDLq/?igshid=11dz224wzt7i

New Years public service announcement ;) 💜💛 A lot of us are feeling pretty vulnerable right now. Remember you don’t have to change ANYTHING about your body or your lifestyle to be worthy of love and respect. YOU ARE AWESOME JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

Through the darkness of winter light and warmth can start to shine through 🧡💛🖤 I created this in Procreate to remind myself to practice a little #hygge in my life and yoga practice. I might not be getting on the mat very often but yoga is more than just the physical. #cozyyoga #cosyyoga #hyggeyoga #fatyoga #yogaillustration #yogaportrait #yogaportraits #yogaart #cosyart #hyggeart #procreateart #procreateillustration #drawing #womenwhopaint #girlswhomakestuff #womenofillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrationdaily https://www.instagram.com/p/CJY2pq4lRKX/?igshid=u1ck51juylx3
