Recent Watercolours

I've been doing some watercolour a little more seriously recently...not too serious though.

Anyway,here are some of them. Bare in mind these are photos of the pictures and usually I take them at night =/ even in the day i cant get a good photo of them and my scanner doesnt do them any justice either :( so just remember they look about 100 times better in person! ok thanks :)

These are two objects in my gran's house. The little bowl is a sugar bowl and the spoon in it is my favourite spoon in the world! Its got a whole scene "carved" into it and the windmill at the top actually spins! 

I did these two while baby sitting her cat..again :P

This one is of Keira Knightly as Georgiana Spencer,Duchess of Devonshire in "The Duchess." I just adored the costumes and rooms in this movie! I wanted to do a set of these. I was partly inspired by Caitlin Shearers "Marie Antoinette" paintings. She has been quite an inspiration lately :)

Almost my favourite part of my paintings is the little clour testing patch :)

The other day I watched "An Education". I didn't really like it,but I loved the costumes! So this painting was a quick one,just for the dress.

I did this one last night. It's from a photo my boyfriend's sister added on facebook. I just really love the dress and think its such a cute pic:) love how the watercolour came out too.

And I literally just finished this one. Actually, it's not even finished in this picture. I just added eye,hair and shadow detail. It's of a picture from a 1942 Harpars Bazaar photo. I just LOVED the dress. Really proud of this as I look at it :) ...so don't be mean! :P

Modeerska Huset kids collection

Oh my gosh, I just found this amazing looking kids fashion line by Modeerska Huset.

Wow.

I love the prints and the way the items have been photographed.

I've been doodling...

So,recently, I've been doodling a bit more than usual. Mostly because I was sick in bed for a few days.

Since I keep forgetting to take pictures in the day time and my scanner sucks, I'm just going to upload the dodgy night time pictures.

Please try to enjoy... :P

This is obviously C3PO from star wars. I was trying to do a sort of old school watercolour tattoo flash type thing... 

Some closer detail..

I'm SO chuffed with how this came out!! It's referenced from a photo I found on the internet somewhere...no idea where

detail

I know these aren't exactly works of art but I really love how they turned out!

A girl I know asked me to design a tattoo of a chinstrap penguin for her. This is too realistic looking I think...but I still like it :)

And this is another more new school design for the penguin

I did this one last night for a friend. Her baby was 5 months old yesterday :) such a cutie
