More Cards!

Here are some more hand painted cards from last year. First up, a baby card. You may remember the baby cards I've already blogged, one of which was for a cousin's second baby girl. That cousin's sister had her second baby girl shortly afterwards, so I did another card in the same style:



Here's a video of me painting that card:

#painting up this #baby #card. You may have seen the sketch for this in my story yesterday. I think this is it for #babycards this year. There's been a bit of a #babyboom! 💖 #paint #painting #smallpainting #babycard #originalartwork #cute #sweet #yellow #floral #watercolour #watercolor #artistatwork #artistoninstagram

Around the same time I also needed to make a nice sympathy card for a family friend who had had a short battle with cancer:



And here's a video of me working on that. Towards the end you can see me adding Perfect Pearls for a bit of a shimmer - they're a fine pearlescent powder, and I use an embossing pen (actually, a proper Perfect Medium pen - often I don't have the 'proper' tools =P) to get them to stick.

Painting a sympathy card this afternoon. This is in memory of 'aunty' Margaret, who died last week. #workinprogress #wip #timelapse #rose #sympathy #flower #smallart #watercolour #painting #inking #ink #pentelbrushpen #copicmultiliner #watercolor #perfectmedium #draw #paint #artistatwork #greetingcards #sympathy #originalartwork #video #artistoninstagram #inktober #inktober2016

Both of these cards were done with watercolour and a water pen, over ink (both Copic Multiliners and a Pentel Brush Pen), and the drawing behind the watercolour images is tinted with prismacolour pencils.
