Hand painted watercolour artwork for a garden themed product

Some of the hand-painted watercolours for Relish’s beautiful new Aquapaints range. I can reveal that this one is garden themed, and an absolute pleasure to work on. 🥰

I can’t show you any of the finished images yet, but will post some more behind the scenes content of how the range comes together, so stay tuned ☺️ 

Winter Rose Hip watercolour illustration

 A winter moment inspired by the UK hedgerows. A seasonal switch up?

Every walk i have done lately has been full of these bright little beauties! I think they make a good seasonal alternative to the usual holly and red berries, what do you think?

Hand painted nature art for a new Aquapaints range

A little peek behind the scenes of my new commission for the fantastic Relish. We are creating a new Aquapaint theme. Can you guess what it might be? I will be posting more about this project over the next couple of weeks, stay tuned ☺️

Autumn Watercolour workshop magic

What a wonderful day teaching my Red Squirrel in Autumn Leaves class in the beautiful studio in Markeaton Park, Derby, thank you @artintheparkderby  

We spent the afternoon layering colours, learning textures, and celebrating the beautiful warm tones of the season.

I’m so proud of everyone’s amazing squirrel paintings — such talent and creativity all around! 💛

Art for wellbeing - Aquapaints

 “It never stops feeling magical!”☺️✨

Every brush stroke reveals a little more magic 🥰

I was commissioned by @relishjoy to illustrate the five colourful and vibrant scenes in the Magnificent Birds Aquapaints collection. 

They are designed to spark joy and connection and offer a soothing, creative experience for people living with Dementia. 

Hearing how much people enjoy using the Aquapaints is always one of the best part of the process 🥰
