Floral Ladies ATCs

 I loved pulling out the watercolour paints to create these beautiful ladies, with their floral locks. A simple face, a splash of paint, some doodled flowers - and a whole lotta time - was all it took. I'm delighted with the finished ATCs 🙂

Orange - Traded

Purple

Golden - my favorite 😍

Pink - 

or maybe this one is my favorite? 😍

Someone missed out on the Vintage Rose Ladies I painted last year, and while we were arranging a current trade she asked would I make her one. I was surprised when she asked to take both ladies, so made a few extras to trade in the Facebook group.

My watercolour technique is a bit haphazard but works for me. Practice makes perfect, so there are many, many watercolour ATCs to be butchered in the process yet!

Thanks for looking, commenting & trading xx

Hydrangea ATCs

Repeating a previous painting class I've found my results are very different just a month apart. Not better technique necessarily, but definitely more confidence in my brush strokes and taking initiative with composition.

Sadly one of my ATC trades did not arrive safely at its destination in the USA. The ATCs and extras were all removed, leaving only the note. 

So as not to disappoint my trade partner, and since it was through no fault of her own, I repeated the ATCs - same but different - and have resent them with a bundle of extras to ensure it is happy mail 💌

RAK gifted

I'm thoroughly enjoying my little sketchbook classes and developing a reference journal of my progress.

Same but different is a concept I really could get used to.

Encore Splatter ATCs

 Due to overwhelming interest in my splatter cards I've made more and they're just about all traded.

Be a fruit loop in a world of cheerios!

Life is a great big canvas,

Throw all the paint you can on it!

I love making these bright little pops of colour! And am delighted that collectors love them as much as I do.

Thanks for the encouragement 😁

Splatter ATCs

The solo splatter ATC I made in January was so well received I decided to make a series of a few more to trade. 

Fruit Loops - traded

I gave first preference of the ATCs to those who contacted me directly when I posted my original splatter, and found Fruit Loops was a very popular choice. Traded immediately and 3 additional requests to be made to order.

Splash of colour - traded

Great big canvas - traded

Pop of colour - traded

Loved making these little snippets and will continue to make them using paint left on my palette - they're like a sneaky little bonus 😉

Peacock Acrylic ATCs

 After taking another art lesson here, I practiced the techniques and turned them into ATCs.

Acrylic paint, a white gel pen and my trusty marketplace typewriter turned this simple design into some cute (and sassy) ATCs.

I flipped a couple of my offcuts into RAKs to send to a trade partner and a lovely lady who requested some happy mail while going through a hard time. 

RAK for a swap, they specifically requested no "extras" so I included a bonus ATC - some matting to frame the print and pearl accents changed the look

Day one or one day

YOU DECIDE...

A little motivational nudge for an anonymous new friend going through a hard time

I'm having so much fun in my painting class and love building on the skills and ideas as I learn them.
