After I painted the butterfly fairy - if you haven't seen that one, it's the post right before this one :P - I really felt like I wanted to spend more time with those beautiful colors and shapes that the wings carried. It's very rare for me to be so attracted to such opaque and solid abstract shapes, usually I prefer working loose but with as much contrast as possible as my beginner arms can carry. Sometimes I do wonder if I'm not missing on an opportunity to create patterns and/or play with watercolor more freely, but then I watch the pigment disperse in water and suddenly all my desire to work with clean cut shapes dissipates and I fall back in love with the magic of watercolor. I do imagine myself trying less transparent mediums in the future, things like gouache or pastels really draw me in, but for the moment I want to continue with this medium. Partly because I want to see how far along I can make it, partly because another medium means another small financial investment which is not something I am willing to go for at the moment. Anyway, these were my thoughts as I was working on this piece. I would really love to hear yours :) As usual, Yours, Aly <3 PS - Don't forget to swipe to the right to see the yummy shine and shift of this beautiful metallic paint from @reneeissancecolours . . #pinkartini #practicemakesprogress #artistsoninstagram #watercolourweekly #artistsupportingartist #watercolorenthusiast #traditionalwatercolor #aquarelliste #peintureaquarelle #acuareleando#watercolorforbeginners #easywatercolor #floralflatlay#simplewatercolor #diybirthdaycard #watercolorcard #traditionalart #watercolourartist #illustratorsoninstagram #surelysimpleart #watercolourist #goldenart #goldleafart #goldleafpainting #metallicpaints #metallicwatercolor #watercolorbutterfly #butterflydrawing #butterflyart #papillonaquarelle (at Brussels, Belgium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQq4v8phxD3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monarch butterflies are so delicate and colourful! But even though they are delicate, they can travel about 3000 miles to wintering grounds as they cannot survive winter. They use the air currents and thermals to carry themselves over vast distances 🦋 Like the winds and the monarchs, God will carry us through our daily trials and struggles and bring us to where He wants us to be, if we will have faith and trust Him 💜 . "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

It's collab time again! 🌟 Over the last year I have met a lot of fun and interesting artists starting up here on IG (thank you, covid!). Having art in common, with some of you I chat almost every day, and I can't tell you how much of a support that is to me and my mental health... and today I would like to thank my dear Mattea @illustrations.mm for being the sweetest and funniest of all the Slytherin Celine Dion fans I have met! I like to think that if distance weren't a problem and if covid weren't a thing we'd be actually enjoying the idea of a coffee together in Paris (or Brussles!) ☕ So, about this piece: neither of us had ever done butterflies so we wanted to give it a try. Also, we wanted this to be a real artwork exchange: I am going to send her this butterfly and she is going to send me hers, which you can admire as the second photo of this post! I cannot wait to have it in my little studio, on display <3 It's a thought that brightens my gloomy Thursday! 🦋 Thank you, Mattea! I had so much fun with this one! Can't wait for you to receive this little buddy :P PS - If you scroll to the end you will see some close up on that gorgeous metallic gold called "Treasure Chest" from @simply.issydesign🌟👌 Thank you!

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 . I often give thanks to the Lord for the blessings He gives me, but recently I've learned that I need to give thanks for every thing that comes my way and in every situation, good and bad. The Bible declares that His ways are not our ways, and all things work together for good to those that love God so I'm learning to trust that things will work out in His Time. When we get to heaven, we'll finally understand it all, but for now, we need to give thanks in and for everything and always trust God. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🌸💖 . . . #hopeblossomsart #hopeb_watercolours #hopeb_lettering #watercolorlettering #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolor #watercolorleaves#thanksgivingart #happythanksgiving #autumnaesthetic #fallaesthetic #watercolorflorals #godsnature #christianartist #bibleverses #brushlettering #bibleverseart #thecaligraphyhub #1thess518 #lettering #caligraphy #communityofchristiancreators https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqd96ukHtO5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gcb5woo40tuf
