“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” ~ Rumi Final layer of contrast and detail complete. Now I can get into the aura mandala! Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday! It’s raining here in Cape Town but we so desperately need water I’m quite happy to miss the sun for a day or two 😊 ••• #art #illustration #painting #watercolor #winsorandnewton #succulents #green #mandala #design #pattern #workinprogress #aura #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #draw #painteveryday #nature #mindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgFyndnkjF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s1cvrm5nlk4g

The natural light at my painting desk was so good this morning that I simply had to paint! Finally finished with the first layer of shading. Now onto some deeper contrast and toning! I hope you all have a wonderful hump day! ••• #art #illustration #painting #watercolor #winsorandnewton #succulents #green #mandala #design #pattern #workinprogress #aura #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #draw #painteveryday #nature #mindfulness #timelapse #timelapseart https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZ8VXcna9M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tvvq2frrt0hb

Happy Studio Sunday! ☀️ I’m home from a lovely breakfast with friends and nearly finished with the first layer of shading. Phew! This is painstaking work! But such a beautiful way for my mind to take a break from worries and lists for a while. I hope you are having a good, recharging Sunday! ••• #art #illustration #painting #watercolor #winsorandnewton #succulents #green #mandala #design #pattern #workinprogress #aura #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #draw #painteveryday #nature #mindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSxtNpnk1f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tidohm2ei6d3

I hope you are all feeling positive about this new year! I’m sipping on a lovely cup of mint tea and the colour blocking is complete for my second Aura piece. I decided to paint the mandala last this time to allow the nature part of the piece help to grow the mandala. Now for some detail and shading! ••• #art #illustration #painting #watercolor #winsorandnewton #succulents #green #mandala #design #pattern #workinprogress #aura #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #draw #painteveryday #nature #mindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BsNog7FnCma/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cd1yee7gg8v2

Happy New Year! Thanks for accompanying me along my creative exploration during 2018.

Aura | Mountain This is the first in a series I’m doing entitled “Aura”, which portrays my interpretation of the aura of aspects of nature. I wish you could see this in person with the gold details - photos really don’t do it justice! ••• #art #illustration #painting #watercolor #winsorandnewton #drawing #mandala #design #pattern #mountains #nature #aura #blue #artist #mindfulness #meditation #ink #mixedmedia #acrylicpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2vX67HNkl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hp6hikrh83j6

Working on yet another new experiment.

A recreation of yesterday's watercolour doodle, done on @procreate on the iPad... sometimes @proteinthebulldog sniffs so deeply I swear he's getting high off the fumes!!! 😂😂😂 ••• #art #illustration #design #sketch #inktober #inktober2018 #paint #painting #doodle #cartoon #bulldog #englishbulldog #childrenillustration #drawing #procreate #ipad #digital https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4W1Yllwpn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wasfms90cq5j

What I imagine @proteinthebulldog sees/thinks when he takes a super long sniff of another dog's P-mail on the pavement 😂 ••• #art #illustration #design #sketch #watercolor #watercolour #inktober #inktober2018 #paint #painting #doodle #cartoon #bulldog #englishbulldog #childrenillustration #drawing #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1FrvwFZlw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4c5yz6nptihw

Some birthday protea earrings I made for my beautiful friend, @emilydietitian along with some protea sticks for a diffuser. Really had fun working on these and quite chuffed with how they turned out! 😊 ••• #art #design #protea #flowers #create #clay #polymerclay #fimo #cernit #pink #earrings #jewelry #craft #porcelain #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6RyRNlnw9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c4v73siyxwt5

I have officially entered the world of polymer clay and I'm hooked! My mind is buzzing with all the possibilities! 😍 I can't wait to wear these 1up earrings to dinner later! ••• #art #design #clay #polymerclay #fimo #cernit #1up #mario #nintendo #earrings #jewelry #sculpt #mushroom #extralife https://www.instagram.com/p/BneFcqPAI8b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mufiaps1k0rr

Testing out the @procreate app on the iPad with a mandala. I think I'm in ❤️. It's taking some getting used to though! 🙈 ••• #art #illustration #mandala #design #pattern #procreate #ipad #apple #draw #timelapse #sketch #doodle
