Sigmund The Cave Dweller, traditional illustration watercolour.
Herein lies the tale of Sigmund the cave dweller.
He was a noble little creature of modest beginnings.
His nobility did not stem from this realm.
Rather, it was a gift of the gods - nobility of spirit.
Despite coming from a Aristocratic family, he rejected the notion that he was better than anyone else, for all that knew him agreed as to his jovial and straightforward character - benevolence being one of his chief virtues.
His ability to perceive the goodness in all knew no bounds.
To the end of his days, everyone he met was “an excellent, honourable, good fellow”. Perhaps ‘illusioned’ by his rosy views of human nature,
such was the fate given him by the celestial spheres.

These are the only 12 watercolor paint colors that I've owned in the last 4 years. There wasn't really any reasoning behind why I chose these colors; they were mostly picked on a whim by my uneducated mood while standing in front of the paint rack at the art supply store. I hope this video is somewhat enjoyable. I'm not sure if it is helpful or even pleasant to watch, as it is quite different f...

This was great practice for painting a night time scene, I really loved using masking fluid along the edge of the tree to create a glowing effect of the moonlight shining down from behind. I cant wait to use that technique again. I was inspired by Chris Dunn for that particular technique, he has a few instagram videos showing how he does it. If you have any questions please ask in the comments....

I made this nostalgic paper card game for a friend's birthday. I recall making these as a child with friends; it was always such fun. In Europe, particularly during the Victorian era (1837-1901), paper crafts and games became popular. Children and young adults often made their own toys and games from paper, including folded paper fortune-telling devices. These were often used at social gatherin...

Hello lovelies, I adore this bunny; her name is Isabelle. Though she may be little, she is deeply protective of her loved ones. I did not succeed in painting her a pair of wings that I like; perhaps I will get back to that one day after practicing more. I hope you enjoy meeting little Isabelle.

In this video I show you a simple way to mix muted watercolours. Muted Watercolour palettes are great for antique or vintage style paintings, or for any one that prefers softer colours. I hope you enjoy it. Its a bit different to my other videos but I get asked this question constantly, so hopefully it is helpful.

    I love that the video was cinematic and aesthetic. But sad that the illustration didn't change much after the 35 minutes. I understand that's the art style, but the length of the video just for adding shadows wasn't satisfying for my adhd brain.

    It’s very normal in the watercolour community not to use black. Many artists will discourage it’s use, but personally I think everyone’s free to paint as they like. I personally do not use blacks in my paintings, I just mix it using whatever paints that are handy.

    Regarding synthetic ultramarine, there are several (slightly) different versions of it. They all have the colour name PB29, but different paint names such French Ultramarine, Ultramarine Intense, Ultramarine Green Shade, etc to denote the different shades. Genuine ultramarine is now just called lapis lazuli to differentiate it from the synthetic version and hardly anyone uses the colour name PB29 to refer to the genuine crushed pigment. You’ll usually find the pigment listed as lapis lazuli or N/A. Both synthetic and genuine ultramarines are chemically identical.

    I loved the message of sharing that you got through it, but I interpreted a different message as well. I think a big part of the story is A. God providing for us against all odds; the little girl could have kept what little she had, but she trusted God and He provided. And B. God uses our difficult circumstances for good; though losing her parents and dealing with poverty was horrible, had those things not happened to her she never would’ve been able to bless those other people.

I agree with you that sometimes when you are filming something you focus more on getting the right angle and all about it, but maybe if you just leave the camera on, without changing the angle, recording you painting would be a good way? Your videos are always so inspiring and I would love to see more :) Thank you!
