Holiday Tree and ornaments on kindness; solstice angel to let the light in #createwithcatcoq #brushandbloompotw #ipadartwithjennifernichols #decdoodle #cldoodle24 #warmup4art

Holiday Ornaments Jutta Schneider challenged us in a weekly prompt– the first two being “ornament” and “tree,” which this top image illustrates. I’ve taken classes on Mid century Style from Jutta so that’s what I wanted to create. I decided there was too much texture on this illustration, so I revised the image to be more true to the mid century style. A little more flat, some outlining, and the…

I’ve spent a bit again today watching Liz Kohler Brown tutorials in Affinity Designer to refresh my memory of the software. I’m using the same palette, and adding a bit from the procreate cozies I made last year in Procreate. Yesterday I finished a little gold bird in her cozy teal…
