Watercolour practice

I've been trying to nail the art of watercolour lately.
Just started this peacock.

Hand painted cards

I have a new venture on the go.
Hand painted greetings cards.
Every one is a piece of original artwork and one of a kind.
Commissions are available whilst blank cards last but be quick.

Grab a bargain on my etsy shop :)

Etsy page

My Etsy page is starting to get going!

Don't miss out on what's for sale.
I've got some shoes- some already painted and some to be painted!
I'm also selling hand drawn coordinates for the perfect valentines day gift.

Hope to speak to you soon :)

We are done here!

The Calvin and Hobbes canvas is complete and packaged!
There is now an empty space in my room where the easel and canvas stood :(
It has been boxed up better than an armored tank so it should get there undamaged!

To see the full progression on this canvas, visit my website- http://nicolesummersartwo.wix.com/nicolesummersartwork#!projects/cm8a

 Here's the finished piece

 Big, bad ass box!

Look at that empty space (minus laundry, shoes, star wars pod racer, monopoly board, telecaster ect :D)

Finishing post

I am in the final stages of the Calvin and Hobbes canvas. :)

This piece has been enjoyable right from the start but, oh my, did I underestimate the amount of work involved!
The cartoon appearance makes it seems straight forward but it has been anything but.
The detail in it is amazing! Hat's off to the person who created it!
It has taken a long, long time to recreate this piece but it will soon be done :)

Pictures will be up soon!

Completed Rohan horse

I realised I didn't upload the picture of my completed horse drawing onto my blog.  It was the very first thing that I posted on here.

Hope you like it

The horse was done with coloured pencils and a black pen was used for the map in the background

Paul's birthday

The weather has slightly improved today but I am still confining myself indoors.
It's too chilly to venture out leisurely.

My boyfriend, Paul, is 21 years old tomorrow and I have taken a little bit of time out to paint and draw gifts for him.

This is the co-ordinates of our first kiss all them years ago

He has been wanting something customising by me for a while. So I decided that he'd love a Charmander on his rucksack.

Anyway it's time to make myself a nice hot mug of tea and relax for half an hour before getting the house work done and then cracking on with the Calvin and Hobbes canvas :) 

Good day to all.
