Heart, Art & Soul ★

Spontaneously painted this simple floral art at the start of my CNY break. Decided to go no filter on this one because I wanted the soft yet vivid hues to come through as how I painted them! 🌸🍃 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCn6tNPih8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I snuck a tiny paint set in my luggage in the hopes that inspiration would come during my weeklong staycation in Kenting. It’s been a while since I picked up a brush, and my principle has always been to stay true and create only when I feel inspired to do so. Yesterday night, I finally sat down and did a quick drawing of these lovely orchids that I got from my friend @minniey28 ’s wedding. Some of the flowers have already wilted, but I thought I could preserve them on paper before they’re completely gone. ❤️💜 #orchids #orchidsofinstagram #orchidflower #orchidpainting #floralwatercolor (at Caesar Park Hotel, Kenting, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4XOpJPAhh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Seashells Galore 🌊🐚 Nichele sells seashells by the seashore. (Sorry I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to say this.) 💁🏻‍♀️ Lately, I’ve been experimenting with more saturated paint sets, and I just LOVE how this piece turned out! Been sitting on this art forever, and I’ve finally had the motivation to do some post-processing work last week. Still have a ton of formatting left but all good here as this year, I make the conscious decision to shift from chasing quantity to crafting with quality. 👌 #seashell #seashells #shellart #shellfish #beachart #beachcomber #beachcombing #beachcombingfinds #beachtreasures #seatreasures (at Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfNUxCPKK-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Artwork #36: Do What You Love 💭 I’ve asked myself a couple of times if it’s worth it to put in those extra hours into good reads, art, dance, fitness, cooking.. and the list goes on and on. Thing is, we each have 24 hours in a day, and it’s really upto us how we make use of that. I find that it’s when I’m immersed in doing what I love, that time flies by the fastest yet begins to have meaning. 🐛🦋 #woifridays #womenofillustration @womenofillustration #dowhatyoulove #weekendmood https://www.instagram.com/p/CWvah5PvIRJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Artwork 36: It’s Okay to Cry 🌙 Here’s me creating a lettering artwork for this week’s #WOIFRIDAYS prompt ✨ And since Halloween 🎃 is just right around the corner, I decided to incorporate some celestial elements but with a non-traditional twist of brighter pastels to this art! 🌟 - @womenofillustration #womenofillustration #positivequotestoday #quotesdaily #itsokay #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytocry #womenoftype https://www.instagram.com/p/CVm98xaPwRV/?utm_medium=tumblr

☕️ This year, I’ve been playing around and remixing a lot of my illos into patterns. Sometimes they turn out pretty bomb 🌸 while most of the time, I struggle with the placement of the elements across my canvas. With a lot more practice, hopefully I can create dozens more! 🤩 ALSO, today is the last day of #TCCsharethecraft week! Now’s your final chance to share your creations with us, and we honestly can’t wait to handpick our fave entries! 🥳 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVl33U6P9_g/?utm_medium=tumblr

💭 Today’s prompt is Ginkgo! These beautiful fan-shaped leaves are just so unique, that I had fun playing around and getting creative with this concept. I decided to stretch my imagination a little bit more this time, and ended up incorporating these leaves as the whimsical tutu of a ballerina! 👗🩰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVkmtqXPPc2/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s Day 5️⃣ of the #TCCsharethecraft week and today, I’m featuring one of my favorite lettering works this year! “Starting Fresh” has always been a reccuring theme in my life, and that’s what prompted me to create this piece in the first place! 🍃🌄 If you’re struggling from a creative funk 〰, try drawing inspiration from personal experiences, meaningful quotes, or even music that you listen to! Hope this helps, and don’t forget to enjoy the process of creating! 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CViKOSGv7l6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning! 🌞 It’s Day 4️⃣ of #TCCsharethecraft week! Hope you’re getting inspired to make art just as we are!✨ Today’s feature is part of a 9-illo series called “Seeking Adventure”⛵️ I started this project several months ago due to lockdown, and in a way, I was living vicariously through these illustrations! Now, I’m excited to say that what started out as a wishful thinking is now making it’s way to a collab with @craftcentral this Christmas! 🤫 So keep sharing your art, cause we’re picking 🖐 winners to get P200 vouchers each by the end of the week!
