Introducing my new OC 💜
“Heather is a gentle ghost who nestles in endless layers of soft quilts. She floats quietly, sewing flowers and leaves made of dusty memories into the layers of quilts which she hides within.”

These little paintings are titled "A place to Plant my Feet", "A Place to Lay My Body" and "A Place to Rest My Mind" respectively 💚💜🧡

Photo of an open sketchbook on a colourfully messy desk. The pages and blobbed with yellow and orange paint first, then drawn over the top of using a really dark green/black ink. The pen I use is resting on the page and I’ve written below “I love this pen. Sailor Fude fountain pen”. There are drawings of cute, illustrated flower people and bugs. The energy is playful and silly and cute

Hi! I really like this platform, but I keep forgetting to post here 🫠 but hello, I’m still here! Here’s a sketchbook page I did this morning, feat my favourite pen atm 💖 I’m trying to sit down with my sketchbook every morning before I get stuck into work, and it’s a really nice way to start the day

I usually don't film my self portrait process, only because I like to get them over and done with quickly!
I get lots of questions about my self portraits, so this video comes with chats about process, how/why I do them and how/why making them is incredibly valuable💖

Well, it has been another frolic, skip, waddle, dawdle, meander, dilly-dally, tootle and bimble around the sun for me and that means it’s time for my annual birthday self portrait ✨
I tried something with colours and a grid system. It was an absolute unplanned scramble, but I think it worked out 🙃

Post image The THEME for the PATRONS session is: Taking Comfort With Swatching.
When I’m kind of burnt out, or feeling the pangs of an art block, decision fatigue, or when life just feels a bit too overwhelming, I love to just swatch and play with colours and pattern.
It’s an activity I like to do without any judgement or expectation on myself. It’s a comfy space.
I’d love to spend this session with you doing just that. Let’s play and connect with these colours and create a little bit of a colour library.What you’ll need this session: Loose paper or sketchbook, art materials (watercolours, gouache, ink, pencils, markers - whatever you want!), a brush, paper towel/rag, water.

The THEME for the PUBLIC session is: Colour Palette Experiments
We’re going to take a lot of the swatches and colour experiments we did last week and put them into practice for this session!I’m going to provide some reference images and we are going to paint or draw (whatever you’d like!) them four times using four very different
palettes. This is going to help us become a little more daring and, in turn, more comfortable when selecting colours for our work.
What you’ll need this session: Loose paper or sketchbook and your art materials (your choice)

I’ve been really enjoying combining illustration with sculpture lately, and I just had to make a sculptural illustration of my favourite black houndie, Pia ✨🧡

I abandoned my Inktober challenge back in December after 14 days… so I finally opened up the rest of the mystery inks and made a painting with them!
Lots of sweets chats and swatching and painting 🧡

My new artwork ✨
I felt pretty guilty and was hard on myself for not finishing my inkvent calendar challenge in Dec, but I needed to recoup from burnout🫠
So, this is a month and a half late but also exactly on time!

Shout Out to the beautiful watercolour block by Etchrlab! A dream paired with ink!
