Before I moved away, I decided to give away all of my oil paints, brushes, canvases and easel to an artist friend of mine. Although I'm sure she has been enjoying them, I miss my paints terribly. Living in such a magical place is inspiring me to paint more than ever, so I have been trying my hand at watercolour. I must say, so far it has been quite a challenge!! I have become accustomed to layering and blending oil paints and have a hard time thinking in washes. The other day, I stumbled upon an etsy site called United Thread, and instantly became inspired. The artist, Michelle's illustrations are gorgeous! I really admire her unique application of paint and thoughtful compositions. I could definitely see her illustrating children's books if she hasn't done so already.
