Don't Give up - motivational illustration

I created the “Don’t Give Up” artwork after feeling my own motivation fatigue kick in, a bit overwhelmed by setting too many goals for the year!

This is not about preaching motivation but recognising struggle.

It’s ok to struggle and still keep going slowly and steadily. Dreams can get creased and crumpled but if they truly matter to you, please don’t throw them away.

The original is available to buy if this resonates and feels like it belongs with you. Drop me an email. enquiries@amandadilworth.co.uk

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! 💛
