Quick Watercolour Lightning Tutorial

27th September 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

It’s been pretty much forever since I’ve last done a watercolour tutorial. Aside from the wrist injury that has kept me from making art, everything else comes in second while I’m writing. Still, I keep getting requests for stuff, and I feel guilty for not blogging about art for so long. The request for a […]

Graphic Ballpoint Landscape

18th April 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s Thursday, which has become synonymous with throwbacks. Today we’re doing something new. I’ve been itching to try making a timelapse of an art process for you, and I figured I’d combine that with a tutorial. I made the original artwork during Inktober 2018, and since I struggled so much to wrap my head around […]

Snowy Watercolour

13th December 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Inspired by the snow and the Rocky Mountains, I painted a little watercolour a few weeks ago. The feedback was really positive, so I figured I try something similar and make it a tutorial for you at the same time. This is a super easy project that will make an awesome gift too. So let’s […]

Draw and Paint a Barn Owl

This tutorial is brought to you by request. 🙂 I love interacting with you, so please keep them coming! This is a super easy tutorial. This project took me about an hour to complete from start to finish, with interruptions from the kid of the house. You can also check out my bird tutorial here! […]

Drawing Birds

7th June 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

I’ve never done a drawing tutorial, so this is scary. 🙂 Still, it’s been requested a time or two and I figured there’s nothing lost in trying. I chose small birds for this tutorial since they’re SO EASY to master, both in terms of drawing and painting. So yes, I’m totally saying this is a […]

Watercolour Forest Tutorial

28th March 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

In moments when my anxiety runs away with me, I often reach for my art supplies. There’s something super soothing about the way watercolours flow and blend together. No? Maybe it’s just me. I also find that in these anxious moments, I paint forests. Don’t ask me why. I really have no specific answer for […]

Autumn Watercolour

13th September 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

Huge excitement hit my house yesterday when my brand new Moleskine watercolour journal arrived. And, of course, like an energised kid, I had to try it out immediately. I drew inspiration from the colouring and falling leaves here in the north – something I’ve always wanted to try painting. At the same time, I wanted […]

Colourful Watercolour

1st September 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

This isn’t a tutorial as much as a photo-diary of the steps I followed to create this painting. It’s really very simple, so I’m tagging it as beginner. Honestly, the most difficult part is getting the violin symmetrical! If that’s something you struggle with, you can always try to find a stencil or print out […]

Easy Watercolour Feathers

23rd August 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

Since my feather banner is so popular, I figured I’d show you how I made it. This tutorial is super simple, anybody can paint feathers! What makes it even better is how fast this process is. I painted these in less than half an hour, they dried for about an hour, and the outlines took […]
