Another painting is finished for the Art Expo! I wanted to combine a few things that I love – vintage teacups, flowers and a little birdy. What do you think? xobec

This week my idols over at A Beautiful Mess released a photo editing App. I’ll admit it. I’m addicted. I can assure you, most of my photos will be edited using this from now on! Its so much fun! Full of beautiful borders, doodles and hand written text. Check out their info on the App here. If you’re on Instagram and have this App, I would love to check out your photos!

Art Journal: Purple Flower Doily

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Clouds of Colour

Ooooooh I LOVE how today’s art journal turned out! I used a purple ink pen to outline the hand drawn part of the flowers then soon after I applied water colour paint. It blurred it in a way I haven’t experienced before. I need to think of something beautiful to make with all these art journal pages… at the moment they are floating around my desk! Have you got any ideas? xobec

Well guys, here is my Shoot it Sketch it for this week! I’m really excited to share this one because of how much I am in love with it. Arlo and I chased this monarch for hours the other day (I will be sharing more photos of it later this week). I couldn’t help but want to paint all these bright colours! I did it as an A2 size and framed it for my exhibition. It is only available as an original.

Shoot it, Sketch it: Lavender & Chive flowers

Posted on November 12, 2012 by Clouds of Colour

My Shoot it, Sketch it post is a wee bit different this week. The painting I did below was done on a canvas to put above our fireplace and was inspired by the vase of flowers I had just picked. So it isn’t an exact replica but was the inspiration behind it. This is usually where most of my ideas come from so I thought it would be nice to share it today! Inspiration is all around us and can pop up at any time! Remember to leave a comment below if you’re joining in Shoot it, Sketch it! xo Bec
