Gift - The Housewarming Pineapple

Obviously, the art block is still quite real, but I managed to push myself into making at least this gift for Muge's cousin and his girlfriend.  They moved into their new place and we spent Saturday there for dinner.  It was a really nice time, and doing this taught me of the history behind why the pineapple is a "near universal" symbol of hospitality.

It's a big hard to see it in a photo, but the sections on the pineapple shimmer gold :P  That gold and silver shimmer watercolour palette was probably one of the best things that came in those sketch boxes I got.

Mother's Day

I'm a deadbeat daughter and forgot to buy a card for my mom while I was at work, but at least I can paint kinda alright I guess

Watercolour Party Page

Been experimenting with watercolour palettes~  I'm suuuuper pleased with the ones I just got in. ♥

On the third image, the top ones are the little palette I got for Valentine's day in Finland from my lovely magpie.  It's worth noting that the purple at the end is mixed from the dark blue and the pink at the beginning.  Sadly, it didn't come with a purple!

The thin lines under that are the shinnery colours that came in a Sketchbox!  They really sparkly, though somewhat hard to get payoff from.  I need to test them over other colours to see how they fair.

The bottom three (the same as the swatch cards to the left) are the Prima Collections palettes in "the classics," "tropicals," and "decadent pies".  Sooooo much payoff, it's almost overwhelming!  And so vibrant too!  The only thing I can complain about is that they're not quite as sparkly in the decadent pies palette at the shimmery one.  I wonder how using them as bases to put the shimmers over would fair though, hm...

Commission - Birthday Mermaid

Been a while since I've had a proper commission. Even longer since I've painted! :D But I'm pretty pleased with it. ♥
